The Tangentyere Family Violence Prevention Division’s (FVPD) approach is underpinned by the Northern Territory’s Domestic, Family & Sexual Violence Reduction Framework 2018–2028: Safe, Respected, and Free from Violence and the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010–2022. These frameworks guide our work in addressing Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence (DFSV) among Aboriginal community members residing in the Alice Springs Town Camps.
FVPD is an integrated program supporting men, women, young people, and children impacted by DFSV. It includes Primary Prevention Programs, Early Intervention Programs and intervention programs such as the Men’s Behaviour Change program.
The ‘Prevent. Assist. Respond. Training – do your part’ (PART) project is specialist ongoing domestic, family and sexual violence (DFSV) training for police and healthcare workers in the Northern Territory.
The PARt project was developed by a consortium led by Tangentyere Council Aboriginal Corporation, with its partners Women’s Safety Services of Central Australia (WoSSCA), the Domestic Violence Legal Service (DVLS) and the Northern Territory Legal Aid Commission.
Northern Territory Police, Northern Territory Department of Health, Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance Northern Territory, and Territory Families sit on the PARt Steering Committee and provide oversight and guidance on the project.
The PART project has four central aims:
- To ensure the voices of victim-survivors, particularly Aboriginal women, inform the training materials and package for police and healthcare workers.
- To increase collaboration and strengthen relationships between the DFSV sector, health, and police.
- To increase knowledge and understanding of domestic, family, and sexual violence, including emerging forms and key challenges, as well as trauma-informed culturally safe and non-collusive practice, among stakeholders and community members.
- To support police and healthcare workers through the development and delivery of targeted ongoing specialist training materials and package.
The successful candidate will be a highly organised and motivated individual with excellent communication skills who is committed to reducing violence against women and children throughout the Northern Territory. The position will involve content and resource development, training delivery, significant travel, stakeholder engagement and administrative elements to delivering specialist domestic, family, and sexual violence training to police and healthcare workers throughout the Northern Territory.
They will have completed tertiary studies in Community Development, Social Work, Gender Studies, Sociology, Psychology, or a related discipline and have significant experience in domestic, family, and sexual violence work as well as in training and education. Experience in and an understanding of the Northern Territory context along with experience working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities will be highly advantageous.
