  • Certificate IV in Government Investigations (essential)
  • Bachelor's degree in Law, Child Protection, Early Childhood Education or related field
  • Strong understanding of the Reportable Conduct Scheme and National Child Safe Standards
  • National Police Check & Working with Children Check
  • High-level communication, resilience, and time management skills
  • Ability to work independently and travel nationally as required

Why This Role Appeals to You

  • Continue your mission to protect vulnerable people—especially children
  • Apply your investigative skills in a new, purpose-driven context
  • Work with integrity, independence, and impact
  • Be part of a values-led organisation that prioritises care, respect, and professionalism
