Role Title: Business Project Intern - Specialist Child Protection Unit
Organisation: Department of Communities
Internship Period: Semester 1 (February - May)
Location: Fremantle
The Business Project Intern would be placed within the Department of Communities, Specialist Child Protection Unit (SCPU), with the Advocate for Children in Care.
The Intern would work on the Viewpoint refurbishment design phase. Viewpoint is a tool for capturing the voices of children and young people in out-of-home care, and serves as an online feedback system designed to assess and enhance the experiences and wellbeing of children in out-of-home care.
Viewpoint in its current format is no longer fit for purpose as a mechanism for engaging with young people in care about their experiences.
This project involves updating the existing Viewpoint system to address its current limitations. Enhancements include improving question formats to be more culturally sensitive, accessible, engaging and inclusive of various disabilities. Completing the development of the MyView and MyStory apps is part of this scope.
Stakeholders include children and young people in out-of-home care, children with a lived experience, care teams and specialised internal teams.
The Department collaborates to create pathways that enable individual, family and community wellbeing. What we do has far-reaching impacts across all aspects of society. Supporting wellbeing can mean many things including ensuring children are safe, helping people access a home, or creating diverse and inclusive communities.
