The _Starting Out_ program offers innovative support to young parents (25 or younger) in Melbourne's Eastern Metropolitan Region, focusing on enhancing their relationships with their children and the community. The program provides individual outreach case management and group-based activities, including parenting education, attachment-based play, and social connection-building.

Responsibilities include outreach services, risk assessments, parenting support, proactive intervention, collaboration on intervention programs, and participation in the group work program.

The case worker will provide outreach and Family Services support to vulnerable children, babies, and families facing complex challenges. This includes ongoing safety and well-being assessments, analyzing family functioning, and working with families to address social, cultural, and familial constraints impacting parenting. The role involves assessing family skills and risks, developing tailored intervention plans, and maintaining detailed case files.
