About the Business Unit
This is an exciting opportunity to deliver a major new initiative for victims of crime. The FAS is a landmark reform that will replace the judicially based Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal with an administrative scheme that prioritises the needs of victims and supports their recovery from violent crime.
The FAS is highly anticipated by victims and stakeholders and represents a major leap forward in the Victorian Government's response to victims of crime. Established under the Victims of Crime (Financial Assistance Scheme) Act 2022 (the Act) the FAS will provide financial assistance through a simple and easy to navigate process that is fair, sensitive, and responsive to victims' needs. It will acknowledge harm done and be trauma informed, inclusive and culturally safe.

**Some of your duties will include**:
- Demonstrated knowledge and understanding of the histories, cultures, and contemporary issues facing Victorian Aboriginal communities.
- Experience in working respectfully and effectively with Aboriginal individuals, families, and communities, ensuring culturally safe practices in all interactions and to create and sustain meaningful partnerships ensuring their voices and needs are incorporated into service development.
- Proven ability to build strong, trusting relationships with Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs) and other relevant community groups.
