PENRITH WOMEN’S HEALTH CENTRE (PWHC) IS CHANGING!

PWHC is looking to fill an upcoming vacancy in our Manager – Nepean Blue Mountains Women’s Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Service role.

The Women’s Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Program aims to:

  • Provide a best practice, specialist, trauma-informed model of service delivery across NSW for women affected by domestic and family violence;
  • Provide consistent, effective and timely threat assessment, safety planning, case coordination, referrals and other support to women and their children referred through the Central Referral Point and other referral sources;
  • Ensure an integrated response to women assessed as ‘at serious threat’ of injury or death due to domestic and family violence by working collaboratively with government and non-government partners through Safety Action Meetings;
  • Provide women experiencing domestic and family violence with information, advocacy, referrals and support throughout the court process, particularly in regard to Apprehended Domestic Violence Orders (ADVOs); and
  • Provide evidence-based contributions to policy and legal reform in relation to domestic and family violence.

The mission of the Women’s Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Program (WDVCAP) is to contribute to a society where women and children live free from violence. The program recognises the disproportionate impact of domestic and family violence on women. The paramount consideration in Women’s Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Service is the safety and dignity of women and children, who are disproportionately impacted by domestic and family violence.
