Individual Support Services (ISS) delivers a high-quality response to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and their children, who are currently 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 Intake and Assessment team is the first point of call for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women when they contact Djirra in person, via phone or email. The Intake and Assessment Workers work collaboratively using a client-centred approach, through a trauma-informed lens to undertake a needs assessment and family violence risk screening and assessment. They work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women to identify their needs, provide immediate and short-term responses, and direct them to the right services (eg. internal supports such as material aid, case management, legal services and counselling or connection with our Koori Women’s Place (KWP), as well as referral to external agencies).

We have two positions on offer for the Intake and Assessment Worker role, one at Djirra Head Office located in Abbotsford and one at our Djirra Melton Centre located in Melton.

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