The Individual Support Services team provides intensive Specialist Family Violence support to Aboriginal women who are experiencing or have experienced family violence and are at risk of further harm. The team’s interventions range from short-term crisis responses to longer-term intensive case-management. The team is also responsible for the provision of financial support to Djirra clients who fit the criteria via the Brokerage Program.

Case Managers provide support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and their children, who often present with multiple and complex needs, to achieve safety, stability, and resilience from family violence, and to heal from the trauma they experience. They provide client-centred, strength-based casework, utilising the Multi Agency Risk and Assessment Management Framework (MARAM) through a trauma- informed lens.

This Case Manager position also has responsibility for a prison support portfolio which involves providing case management services within the MARAM framework to Aboriginal women, and their children, who are in prison or have been released from prison. As well as working from the Abbotsford office, these positions will work at times from a base at Melton with time spent there gradually increasing. Outreach to Dame Phyllis Frost and Tarrengower prisons will also be required.

The Prison Support Program is designed to assist Aboriginal women who have experienced family violence and incarceration to break the cycle of violence and offending and to live safe lives, connected to culture and free from trauma.

Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people are strongly encouraged to apply.
