About the Role

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).
