ABOUT THE ORGANISATION

In 2021, Domestic Violence Victoria (DV Vic) and the Domestic Violence Resource Centre Victoria (DVRCV) are merging to become a new entity.

This merger brings the peak body for Victoria’s specialist family violence services supporting victim survivors together with the state’s only specialist family violence Registered Training Organisation; combining our strength, capacity and resources for greater impact.

Our work is underpinned by intersectional feminism – as set out in the Code of Practice: Principles and Standards for Specialist Family Violence Services for Victim-Survivors – informed by an understanding of the gendered nature of violence and with the interests of all victim survivors at the heart of everything we do.

We apply a specialist lens across primary prevention, early intervention, response and recovery to:

1. Develop practice and support workforces
2. Strengthen and connect organisations, sectors and systems
3. Build momentum for social change
4. Build a strong peak organisation

We are in the process of re-branding the merged organisation to ensure a truly collaborative and equal new peak body. DV Vic and DVRCV is committed to providing flexible and accessible working arrangements for all. This includes people with a disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, culturally, religiously and linguistically diverse people, young people, older people, women, and gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and gender diverse, intersex or queer people. We recognise the strength and value in diversity, remain open to new approaches and actively foster an inclusive workplace that celebrates the contribution made by all our people.

THE ROLE

The Graphic Design Officer will work closely with the Communications Manager, Communications Team and colleagues across the organisation to develop and implement a communications plan for the next twelve months and deliver content that meets key milestones and activity. Central to the success of the communications plan is a successful launch campaign to introduce and celebrate the merged organisation’s new identity and branding.

The Graphic Design Officer is a new, fixed-term role which will support the delivery of a range of project-based and business as usual activities, with a primary focus on graphic design and developing content and resources in various formats, particularly digital.
