Advocating and upholding the rights of women and children to be safe and free motivates you to come to work each day. You will have the capability for reflection and self-insight to develop your practice and know the importance of self-care to maintain resilience when working with trauma. People describe you as flexible, adaptable and positive in your approach.
REQUIREMENTSFollowing recommendations by the Royal Commission it has become a requirement for Family Violence Practitioners to have, or work towards, minimum qualifications like a Bachelor Social Work, or Graduate Certificate in Family Violence. You can fine more information on the mandatory minimum qualificationshere.

- We are a welcoming, supportive and inclusive team, driven by a shared vision of a community free from violence where everyone is safe.
- We walk the talk on inclusion: bring your whole self to work
- We believe in lifelong learning and support our people to engage in professional development.
- We embrace flexibility and hybrid working - whilst we believe some time together in person is critical, we know balancing life and work is important
- We have great benefits like parental leave, EAP and wellbeing programs
We believe that the unique contributions of all our people at FVREE create our success. To ensure that our culture and our services continue to incorporate everyone's perspectives and experience, we encourage applications from the LGBTIQA+ community, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, people from diverse cultural backgrounds and people of all abilities.
Due to the gendered nature of family violence, much of our workforce is women, though this is not a requirement for all roles. We never discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, age, or marital, veteran, or disability status.
FVREE is a child-focused and child safe organisation and we are committed to promoting and protecting the safety and interests of children. All appointments with FVREE are subject to a police records check, working with children check and reference checks.
