About Us

At Yilli Rreung Housing Aboriginal Corporation (Yilli Housing), we are dedicated to empowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to thrive. Guided by our values of Heart and Passion, Culture and Community, Openness and Excellence, and Empowerment and Support, we deliver housing and homelessness solutions that create meaningful change.

We are establishing a Day Centre in Palmerston to provide a safe, inclusive, and culturally appropriate space for people experiencing homelessness or social disconnection. The centre offers practical support — showers, laundry, meals, lockers, and digital access — and tailored case management through a wraparound, trauma-informed approach.

The Opportunity

As a Key Worker, you will play a vital role in providing person-centred support to individuals and families accessing the Day Centre. You'll conduct triage, assessment, case management, and supported referrals to housing, health, and community services — promoting dignity, stability, and independence for clients.

Deliver culturally safe case management and goal-oriented support plans.

Provide supported referrals to housing, health, legal, and wellbeing services.

Assist clients in accessing practical services including hygiene, meals, and digital access.

Build strong relationships with partners such as Lutheran Care, Larrakia Nation, and other service providers.

Maintain accurate case notes and ensure compliance with Yilli Housing and NRSCH standards.

Essential:

Experience in community services, housing, or a related sector.

Strong understanding of trauma-informed and culturally safe practice.

Excellent communication, de-escalation, and problem-solving skills.
