About the organisation

Organisation Name : Domestic Violence Victoria and DVRCV

In 2021, Domestic Violence Victoria (DV Vic) and the Domestic Violence Resource Centre Victoria (DVRCV) are merging to become a new entity.

This merger brings the peak body for Victoria’s specialist family violence services supporting victim survivors together with the state’s only specialist family violence Registered Training Organisation; combining our strength, capacity and resources for greater impact.

Our work is underpinned by intersectional feminism – as set out in the Code of Practice: Principles and Standards for Specialist Family Violence Services for Victim-Survivors – informed by an understanding of the gendered nature of violence and with the interests of all victim survivors at the heart of everything we do.

We apply a specialist lens across primary prevention, early intervention, response and recovery to:

  1. Develop practice and support workforces
  2. Strengthen and connect organisations, sectors and systems
  3. Build momentum for social change
  4. Build a strong peak organisation

We are in the process of re-branding the merged organisation to ensure a truly collaborative and equal new peak body. DV Vic and DVRCV is committed to providing flexible and accessible working arrangements for all. This includes people with a disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, culturally, religiously and linguistically diverse people, young people, older people, women, and gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and gender diverse, intersex or queer people. We recognise the strength and value in diversity, remain open to new approaches and actively foster an inclusive workplace that celebrates the contribution made by all our people.

About the role

The Access and Inclusion Advisor is a new position designed to drive the development and implementation of a broad program of work supporting access and inclusion within DV Vic/DVRCV and amongst the peak’s member services.

This will include:

  • Identifying, establishing, strengthening and maintaining partnerships with a diverse range of stakeholders with a view to support accessible and inclusive family violence service delivery across Victoria.
  • Ensuring practice guidance and training for the specialist family violence sector is inclusive, this includes coordinating DV Vic/DVRCV’s testing of Family Safety Victoria’s Intersectionality Capability Building tools and resources.
  • Working collaboratively with Rainbow Health Victoria to support the LGBTIQ Family Violence Capability Building Initiative.
  • Designing a strategy that will underpin the organisation’s internal approach to cultural safety, access and inclusion.
  • Working collaboratively across the organisation to further develop and embed an intersectional feminist framework across all of DV Vic/DVRCV’s work, in line with the Code of Practice: Principles and Standards for Specialist Family Violence Services for Victim-Survivors.
  • Scoping and establishment of cross-organisational approaches to engagement, collaboration and implementation of access and inclusion activity.

This role is part of the Strategic Projects and Engagement Team, within the Policy, Communications and Engagement Unit.
