• Provide expert advice to staff and statutory bodies on managing complex mental health and risk profiles, including sexual and violent offenders.
• Collaborate on behaviour and case management plans that promote rehabilitation and reduce recidivism.
• Maintain meticulous, compliant documentation using the Offender Integrated Management System (OIMS).

• Strong knowledge of contemporary correctional principles and criminogenic risk factors.
• Accreditation with the Psychology Board of Australia (provisional or full registration).

Nestled in the scenic Riverina, Junee is a charming town bursting with character—from its famous Liquorice and Chocolate Factory to its historic railway museum and quirky haunted house.
