About the role
The Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Advisor provides advice to and builds awareness of Child Protection practitioners working with Aboriginal children and engages with Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations and community services organisations to improve outcomes through progression of self- determination reforms for Aboriginal children, families, and communities. While the role does not develop cultural plans, it provides important cultural expertise and guidance which supports child protection practitioners with the cultural planning process, and cultural plan compliance. This crucial role enables Aboriginal children to remain connected to community, build resilience and support them remaining with family.
The role will also focus on area improvement and implementation processes, aligning outcomes to relevant divisional policies and processes.
