  • Build and maintain strong, respectful working relationships with Aboriginal families, ACCOs, and other stakeholders.
  • Assist families in strengthening cultural connections and kinship networks.
  • Maintain accurate and timely case records and documentation.
  • Uphold child safety and wellbeing in all aspects of your work.

  • Strong communication, stakeholder engagement, and problem-solving skills.
  • High level of computer literacy and case management documentation skills.
  • Current Working with Children Check, Unrestricted Driver's Licence, and ability to travel as required.
Why Join Us?
