  • Salary Packaging - Access to package up to $15,900 of your pre-tax salary for everyday expenses, maximizing your take-home pay.
  • Vehicle Packaging Options – Tailored to fit your lifestyle.
  • Work-Life Balance - Flexible working arrangements, including hybrid home/office options, and one accrued day off per month for full-time employees.
  • Recognition and Rewards – Competitive remuneration, various recognition initiatives, and eligibility for long service leave after five years.
  • Wellness Programs - Fitness passport, Employee Assistance Program, and opportunities to purchase additional leave.
  • Professional Development – Customized career development opportunities for all employees and volunteers to foster growth and fulfillment.
  • Commitment to Reconciliation – First Nations employees are entitled to up to 10 days of unpaid leave for ceremonial purposes and can participate in our RAP working group, along with opportunities for cultural and professional development.

  • A relevant degree in Social Work, Psychology, or a related field.
  • Experience in case management within the Child Protection sector.
  • A valid driver's license.
  • A holistic, strengths-based approach to effecting meaningful change.
  • The ability to engage with diverse populations, including the local Aboriginal community.
  • A high level of motivation, professional integrity, and a belief in the potential of every parent.

If you identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, we encourage you to apply. The Benevolent Society values the cultural knowledge and wisdom of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and is committed to being an Employer of Choice, ensuring cultural safety in our workplace.
