About Relationships Australia
Our clients are, and always will be, our priority. Relationships Australia NSW provide a safe, judgement free environment where individuals, couples and families can address the matters impacting their relationships and lives.
What you’ll do
You’ll receive referrals from the NSW Police and Justice Department and proactively contact men who have recently experienced Domestic and Family Violence (DFV).
You will conduct phone-based safety assessments, identify short-term needs, and refer clients to appropriate services. This means that client contact is typically one-touch, and due to the high volume of clients needing our support, your ability to quickly build rapport and provide effective support will make a big difference to so many clients. There are no after-hours requirements.
