About the Position

The "Public Intoxication Response (PIR) service" plays a crucial role in addressing the health and wellbeing needs of individuals who are intoxicated in the Greater Bendigo/Castlemaine areas, aligning with the recent decriminalisation of public intoxication by the Victorian Government.

The core function of the PIR team is to provide an outreach-based response to individuals in need. This response includes conducting thorough health assessments, offering safe transportation to an appropriate location, monitoring the health and overall well-being of the individuals, and delivering follow-up care as needed.

This involves actively aiding those who may require support, emphasizing a hands-on and empathetic approach to Community outreach.
  • Integration with BDAC Medical Clinic: When not attending to clients in the field, the Community Health Responder will support the BDAC medical clinic by delivering nursing/practitioner services to Community members.
  • Client Advocacy: The role includes advocating for the rights and overall wellbeing of clients. This involves ensuring that clients receive the appropriate care and support, actively advocating their interests within the broader health system.
  • Guidelines and Procedures: Operating under the guidance of the Program Manager, the Community Health Responder adheres to all reporting requirements, guidelines, and standards. This ensures that the efforts align with established protocols, promoting consistency, and quality in service delivery.
  • Build Relationships with Stakeholders: The position involves proactive liaison with key stakeholders and active participation in professional networking. Establishing and nurturing relationships with external partners, community organisations, and relevant agencies.
  • Family Violence Response:This position is designated under the Multiagency Risk Assessment and Management framework (MARAM) Intermediate (Tier 2 and 3) level which requires mandated MARAM Family Violence Intermediate Risk Assessment training and responsibilities.
