**THE ROLE**

The Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Advisor provides advice to and builds awareness of Child Protection practitioners working with Aboriginal children and engages with Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations and community services organisations to improve outcomes through progression of self-determination reforms for Aboriginal children, families, and communities.

- Provide professional leadership and guidance to Child Protection and key stakeholders including local Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations and community service organisations
