Role Title: Project Intern: Office for Prevention of Family and Domestic Violence
Organisation: Department of Communities
Internship Period: Winter (June - July)
Location: Fremantle
There are two projects that OPFDV is looking for the intern to develop. It is noted, that there may only be capacity for one of the two projects.
Project 1: Jurisdictional scan of child protection responses to family and domestic violence in Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
Specifically, looking to identify enabling legislative provisions for targeted, specialist, family and domestic violence response within the child protection system. This should include legal requirement for multi-agency response, compliance reporting on FDV risk assessment implementation, enabling provisions for information and data sharing, unique mechanisms for protecting child and adult victim-survivors.
Project 2: Developing an outcomes framework for the family and domestic violence and/or homelessness portfolio that can set higher order outcomes, that cascade into front line service delivery within the agency and service level outcomes in service agreements of contracted community services. This work would involve review and analysis of existing outcome measures (including in budget papers, report on government services), data sources, existing contracts and their aligned outcomes. The ambition of this project is to more comprehensively and effectively establish a framework for measuring impact of service provision.
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.
