Advanced Child Protection Practitioner, 08/2008 to Current
Department of Human Services – 9 Bruce Street, Leongatha, Victoria, 3953
I work as part of a team who assess risk to children. Tasks involve working with families to address the risk assessed for the children and if risk is assessed as immediate and significant then I am required to attend court to seek orders for the children to possibly remain in out of home care. I work collaborately with many other services to assist families in addressing the risk to their children. I work within a tight time frame and am able to manage high stress situations. I am also required to assist new staff and to develop their work practice. I have a high level of computer and typing skills in order to keep acurate and timely records and files.
