About the opportunity

Working across the DHHS Southern Melbourne area, the Principal Strategic Advisor (PSA) works closely with a cross-sector partnership to develop, enhance and implement integrated responses to family violence at a local level.

With a collaborative approach, the PSA will support the implementation of family violence reforms, which aim to enhance service outcomes for both victim survivors and perpetrators of family violence. The PSA will drive system level changes that ultimately prevent and respond to family violence.
