🌿 Lead, Support & Make Change - Aboriginal Identified Roles in Family Violence Services

Based in Bendigo or Croydon | Leadership + Intake & Assessment Roles Available

Relocation Support Provided | Full-Time | SCHADS Level 6+ (Leadership) or Level 5 (Practitioner)

Are you an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander practitioner or leader ready for your next opportunity? Would you consider relocating to Victoria to step into a role that centres cultural safety, healing, and strong community connection?

Tradewind is partnering with leading family violence services to recruit for Aboriginal Identified roles in Bendigo and Croydon. These are values-aligned organisations committed to delivering culturally safe support for Aboriginal women, children, and families.

🖤 About the Opportunities

We're currently recruiting for two key Aboriginal Identified roles:

1. Team Leader (Leadership Role)
Provide cultural and operational leadership to a small team responding to family violence. You'll help guide service delivery, embed culturally safe practice, and support your team to walk alongside Aboriginal families with care and respect.

2. Practitioner - Intake & Assessment
Be the first point of contact for individuals and families seeking support. You'll complete intake and assessment, offer short-term safety planning and referrals, and ensure every response is culturally informed and trauma-aware.

🌏 Why Relocate to Victoria?

Whether you're looking for a fresh start or want to work where your knowledge is valued, relocating to Victoria offers the chance to:

• Join a committed, culturally strong family violence service
  
• Make a real difference in the lives of Aboriginal women, children, and families
  
• Access relocation support to help with moving costs and accommodation
  
• Choose a location that suits your lifestyle: Bendigo (regional, community-driven) or Croydon (leafy metro-fringe with city access)
  
• Grow your career in a sector where Aboriginal voices and leadership are needed
  

✨ What You'll Bring

We're looking for people who:

• Identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander
  
• Have experience in family violence, child and family services, or similar community roles
  
• Bring deep cultural knowledge, a trauma-informed approach, and commitment to healing
  
• Are confident in working with multidisciplinary teams and systems
  
• Hold a relevant qualification or equivalent lived and professional experience
  

💸 What's on Offer

• SCHADS Level 5 or 6+ depending on experience and role
  
• Relocation support available for those moving from interstate
  
• A culturally safe and inclusive workplace
  
• Ongoing training, mentoring, and leadership development
  
• A long-term pathway in Victoria's family violence sector
