- Create spaces free from harm, where cultural strengths are recognised, and dignity, respect, and belonging are prioritised.

**Skills & Experience**
- Relevant tertiary qualification in Human Services or related field, with leadership experience in human services settings.
- Proven ability to work both independently and collaboratively in high-pressure, dynamic environments.
- Strong understanding of refugee, asylum seeker, and migrant support practices, including CALD communities and SRSS program (highly desirable).
