About CASWA

The Council of Aboriginal Services Western Australia (CASWA) is dedicated to strengthening the Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO) sector in WA by supporting self-determination, cultural authority, and sector development. CASWA works closely with ACCOs to ensure Aboriginal-led solutions drive systemic change, particularly in areas such as justice, education, housing and child and family safety.

About the role

The Child Safe Senior Project Officer will work with the Child Safe Program Manager and other CASWA team members to implement the Child Safe Community Services Project, in partnership with the Western Australian Council of Social Service (WACOSS), Department of Communities, and other key stakeholders. This project supports the capacity-building of ACCOs and other community service organisations to embed the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations in a culturally safe and sustainable way.

This role is integral to ensuring that Aboriginal community-led child safety initiatives are embedded across WA's community service sector.

  • Support the implementation of CASWA's Child Safe Community Services Project by building capacity, delivering training, and developing tailored resources for Aboriginal organisations.

  • Strengthen partnerships between CASWA, ACCOs, and sector stakeholders to drive effective child safety initiatives through consultation, collaboration and advocacy.

  • Represent CASWA in strategic forums and champion Aboriginal-led approaches to child safety policy and practice.

To excel in this role, you will have:

  • Strong understanding of National Principles for Child Safe Organisations and their application in Aboriginal Community-Controlled settings.
  • Experience working with Aboriginal organisations, communities, and leaders to deliver culturally responsive programs.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience in report writing, policy submissions, and project documentation.
  • Ability to facilitate training, workshops, and community consultations on child safety principles.
  • Relevant tertiary qualification and/or professional experience in social services, child protection, community development, or a related field.
