Help set up and deliver a new program, being established across the Northern Territory, South Australia and Victoria to develop a better understanding of people’s needs for domestic and family violence support services, with the goal of improving the service sector and broader system’s capacity to meet those needs and, ultimately, increasing people’s safety.
We’re looking for two people to provide important local connections in the Northern Territory and South Australia. This is an exciting opportunity to shape a role around your skills and experience, with room to develop and grow over the next few years.
The Program Officers will support all aspects of program delivery, including a combination of research assistance, administrative and logistics support, communications coordination and stakeholder engagement. Individual responsibilities and projects will be allocated across the team, so you’ll have key things you’re accountable for – which will be decided based on your background and interest as well as broader program requirements. As part of a small team spread across multiple jurisdictions, you’ll need to take an autonomous and proactive approach to agreed activities and tasks.

The DFV measurement program is a partnership between the DFV sectors across three jurisdictions, with a program delivery team employed by Safe and Equal.
Safe and Equal is the peak body for Victorian organisations that specialise in family and gender-based violence across the continuum, including primary prevention, early intervention, response and recovery. Our vision is a world where everyone is safe, respected and thriving, living free from family and gender-based violence.
Depending on where individual team members are based, they may share office space with Embolden in South Australia, NTCOSS in the Northern Territory, Safe and Equal in Victoria, or with other local DFV organisations.
At Safe and Equal, we are committed to creating an inclusive organisation. We strongly encourage people from all backgrounds to apply to work with us, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people; people of colour and people from migrant and refuge communities; people of any age or gender; lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse, intersex or queer people; people with lived experience of family violence; and people with disability. We also consider applicants regardless of contact with the justice system and experiences of criminalisation, consistent with our legal requirements.
We are committed to fostering a work environment where everybody can bring their whole self, belong and succeed. We are a proud Equal Opportunity employer and do not tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment. We celebrate and support difference and know that one size doesn’t fit all – we endeavour to be flexible, meet your needs, and support you at every stage of your contact with us.
Safe and Equal offers employees a monthly RDO option, individual annual professional development budget, generous leave benefits including (but not limited to) end of year shutdown leave, gender affirmation leave, family violence leave and cultural and ceremonial leave, and access to an employee assistance program.

We know that people from under-represented groups don’t always apply for roles they don’t feel 100% qualified for.
