About the organisation
ARC Justice (Advocacy and Rights Centre Ltd.) was established in 2000.

Our programs now provide legal and tenancy support services across ten local government areas in central and northern Victoria, with a team of 37 staff working to advocate for and uphold the rights of rural and regional Victorians.
About the role
The Social Worker role provides discrete support and case management services to disadvantaged and vulnerable clients who will benefit from additional support alongside their legal matter. The social worker role will complement our already existing multi-disciplinary legal programs within ARC Justice and will be providing clients with assistance and support throughout their legal matter to strengthen their resilience, engage with community services, gain the skills and confidence needed to manage their legal matter, and build personal capacity and independence.
This position carries a caseload of clients and provides a mix of short-term, long-term, and intensive case management support. This position undertakes initial assessments, assistance and referrals to ensure relevant needs are addressed in areas including family violence, parenting and children, mental health and disability support, in turn allowing clients to engage proactively with their legal matter.
