At DPV Health, we pride ourselves on being inclusive, and actively embrace and celebrate the diversity of all people within our communities. We are passionate about supporting people to lead happy, healthy lives. We are dedicated to working with people from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, people with a disability and people from migrant or refugee backgrounds.

We are proud to be a Rainbow Tick accredited organisation; dedicated to the continued support for our LGBTIQ+ community.
Permanent part-time and full-time roles available to join our Orange Door multi-disciplinary teams.
A key recommendation of the Royal Commission and the Roadmap for Reform was to establish a network of Support and Safety Hubs (‘Hubs’) across Victoria to provide a new way for women, children and young people experiencing family violence, and families who need assistance with the care and wellbeing of children to access the services they need to be safe and supported. These Hubs are known as The Orange Door.
The Orange Doors brings together different workforces and practices to create an integrated Orange Door team and a consolidated intake point in each Orange Door area to create a new way of support for:
The Orange Door teams includes a mix of staff employed by FSV and staff employed by CSOs, Aboriginal services and Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH).
DPV Health Family Violence Team provides a comprehensive service to Women, Children and Perpetrators within the region. All positions involve engaging with men who use family violence in ways that invite accountability, change and safety.
The current Men’s Family Violence Practitioner positions will be located in NEMA Orange Door (Heidelberg, Epping & Hume) and The Orange Door Home/Moreland (Broadmeadows, Craigieburn & Sunbury), working collaboratively within multi-agency teams to collaboratively assess risk and act as a first point of contact for clients seeking support. Our practitioners engage with men who are using family violence to invite accountability and change, along with linking clients into ongoing supports relevant to risk. Predominantly phone-based work via L17 active referrals, there are also opportunities to engage self-referred clients in person.
Our Men’s Family Violence Practitioners play an important role in initial engagement with men who use family violence. The role requires invitational client engagement skills, a nuanced understanding of men’s family violence drivers and contributing risk factors, a collaborative attitude, and a passion for social justice and transformative change.
The health and wellbeing of our people is at the core of our employee and client experience. All perks are curated with care, allowing you to thrive at work and in all personal and professional pursuits. Knowledge sharing, ongoing learning and development, engagement and recognition are key pillars in our culture and values.
