Domestic, Family, and Sexual Violence Embedded Practitioner - CALD Specialist
As a DFSV Embedded Practitioner (CALD Specialist), you will work as an embedded practitioner within the Centre Against Domestic Abuse (CADA) to increase access to domestic, family and sexual violence services for women from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds in the Moreton Bay region. This is a mobile, community-based role that takes services directly to CALD women, meeting them where they feel safe and comfortable rather than expecting them to navigate unfamiliar mainstream services.
The DFSV Embedded Practitioner (CALD Specialist) is responsible for proactive community engagement, building trust with CALD communities, providing culturally safe crisis intervention and brief support, and creating seamless pathways between community outreach, IWSS specialist services, and CADA programs. This role works in partnership with CADA to enhance cultural responsiveness across the service system while addressing the unique barriers CALD women face when seeking support for domestic, family and sexual violence.
This is a direct community service delivery role focused on engaging hard-to-reach populations, providing immediate crisis intervention and brief support in accessible settings, coordinating warm referrals to appropriate services, and building cultural competency within the broader DFSV service system.
