Why Female-Identifying?

Our work at CAWLS is deeply rooted in addressing issues specifically affecting women, and your role will directly and predominantly involve supporting professionals to empower women and girls in identifying and responding to domestic, family and sexual violence. This requirement is consistent with the exemptions under the Australian Sex Discrimination Act, where gender can be a genuine occupational qualification, particularly for roles involving empowerment and support of a specific gender (Sections 30 to 43). Additionally, this position aligns with the Act's provisions for 'special measures,' which support affirmative action for women in employment and employment advertising as part of legitimate affirmative action programs​. 

About You

To qualify, you will need a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant health discipline, social services, or law and a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment or equivalent. A minimum of postgraduate experience in providing contemporary advanced clinical services responding to domestic, family, and sexual violence will also be essential.

Additionally, the following skills and background will be highly valued:

• Demonstrated ability to plan, develop, implement, and evaluate clinical education and training activities
• Comprehensive understanding of culturally safe practice
• Experience as an adult educator or facilitator with excellent public speaking skills
• High-level planning and time management skills
• Personal commitment to reflection and self-care to build resilience

As our ideal candidate, you will possess excellent communication, interpersonal, negotiation, and conflict management skills that will make you succeed in this role, as well as a strong commitment to quality improvement and patient safety that will make you a perfect culture fit.

This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact in supporting health professionals to respond effectively to domestic, family, and sexual violence while working within a supportive and dedicated team.

About the Benefits

You will receive a competitive salary plus superannuation (commensurate with experience), along with a great host of benefits, including:

• Relocation assistance provided to make Alice Springs your new home
