About the Role
Make a Difference Through Therapeutic Case Management
The Court Integrated Services Program (CISP) is a court-based therapeutic initiative that helps address the underlying causes of offending and supports people to make positive, lasting changes in their lives. By connecting participants with tailored services including mental health support, alcohol and other drug treatment, housing assistance, disability services, acquired brain injury programs and Koori-specific supports, CISP aims to reduce reoffending and improve community safety.
At the heart of the program is a dedicated Case Manager who works closely with participants, providing guidance, support and accountability throughout their journey. Through regular engagement, progress monitoring and collaboration with support services, Case Managers help individuals address complex challenges while keeping the Court informed of their progress. CISP offers a unique opportunity to contribute to meaningful rehabilitation outcomes and make a positive difference in the lives of vulnerable people and the broader community.
