Yarra Valley High Country, Australia Boorndawan Willam Aboriginal Healing Service Full time $90,000 - $104,000 per year

About Us

Boorndawan Willam Aboriginal Healing Service (BWAHS) are the lead specialists in Aboriginal specific family violence services across the Eastern Metropolitan Region. The organisation has developed an excellent record of providing high quality family violence and trauma informed intensive case management, integrated family service responses and evidence based therapeutic programs to individuals and groups for a whole family approach.

POSITION SUMMARY - Full Time

This is an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Identified Position, classified under 'special measures' of section 12 of the Equal Opportunity Act 2010. Only Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are eligible to apply.

Boorndawan Willam Aboriginal Healing Service (BWAHS) Men's Case Manager (MCM) provides family violence case management and case coordination to men from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in the Eastern Metropolitan Region (EMR) who are identified as using family violence or are impacted by family violence. Using a strengths-based approach, the MCM will undertake comprehensive needs and risk assessments of men and their families. The MCM will work collaboratively with Aboriginal men and their families to address family violence, promote perpetrator responsibility, strengthen individuals and their communities and reduce barriers to behaviour change.

A key focus of the role is to work in collaboration with other BWAHS programs, other Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCO's), the Eastern Metropolitan Regional Family Violence Partnership and external support services to ensure a comprehensive integrated case plan is developed and implemented. Although the position has a home base in Lilydale, this is an outreach position and the delivery service is using that model.

Manage Risk

  • Undertake ongoing analysis of the family's safety and wellbeing including an analysis of family capacity to maintain safety for children in the family.
  • Lead and participate in Risk Management Meetings within BWAHS.

Training and professional development / capability development

  • Undertake training and professional development opportunities.

  • Comply with and report upon all funding agencies data recording requirements, accurately and in a timely manner.

Policies, Procedures and Systems
