The Brisbane Rape and Incest Survivor’s Support Centre (BRISSC) is a specialist community-based organisation that provides free and confidential support services to women who have experienced sexual assault at any time in their lives.

BRISSC is committed to working within communities to raise awareness of, and ultimately prevent, sexual violence in all its forms.

Main Duties:

• Provide VAQ advocacy to women who have experienced recent or historic sexual violence by telephone and/or face to face appointments using a feminist support framework.
• Contribute to capacity building and development of community prevention resources and programs.
• Facilitate or co-facilitate workshops and preventative initiatives.
• Develop effective relationships and partnerships with community Elders, local service providers and community groups, and other key stakeholders in the Brisbane North region to support the development of appropriate community responses to issues relating to sexual violence.

This position will provide direct support/advocacy across three locations (Woolloongabba, Nundah and Inala). Prevention work will be focused on Northern suburbs.

BRISSC is a women’s only service and it is a genuine occupational requirement that workers be women (as permitted under Sections 25 and 104 of the Queensland Anti-Discrimination Act 1991).
