**Your contribution
- The First Nations Intake Officer undertakes the Child Safety Officer intake role for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander families.

- A Child Safety Officer is responsible for delivering statutory child protection services such as investigating and assessing allegations of suspected child abuse and neglect and intervening to ensure the safety of children in accordance with legislation and practice guidelines.
- Child Safety Officers work in teams based in service centres covering specific geographical areas.
