Job Description Child Protection work is rewarding, fulfilling, challenging and demanding, with many opportunities from Case Support Work (CPP2) to Expert Practice (CPP6) roles. As a Child Protection Practitioner, you’ll join over 1600 other qualified social welfare and behavioural professionals, passionate about social justice and the rights of children at risk.

Right now, we’re looking for 450 new Child Protection Practitioners to boost our current teams by more than 25%. This is the largest expansion of our Child Protection workforce in Victoria’s history.

Who are we looking for?
We’re looking for professionals who are confident and resilient. You must be empathetic and open to change when working collaboratively with families and other professionals.

While there is need for therapy-based skills, a great deal of case work involves statutory investigation, analysis and critical thinking.

What’s involved in being a Practitioner?
Child Protection Practitioners work for the Victorian Government to investigate the safety and wellbeing of children at risk. They receive and assess reports of alleged child abuse and neglect from the community. In more serious circumstances, Practitioners may be involved in court action.

To be an effective Child Protection Practitioner, you’ll understand that families are complex and have their own unique histories. Importantly, you will be able to build relationships with children, young people and their families.
