About NAAFLS

NAAFLS is an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO) and independent Family Violence Prevention Legal Service (FVPLS).

We have offices in Darwin (Larrakia land), Katherine (Jawoyn, Dagoman and Wardaman land) and Nhulunbuy (Yolŋu land), and service over 40 remote communities within the Top End region spanning from the Tiwi Islands down to Lajamanu, Wadeye across to Borroloola. Regular travel to these communities is predominantly in line with the Darwin and Katherine Court Circuit calendars and requires our teams to stay overnight on community for up to two trips of 2-4 days per month.

We provide culturally sensitive legal advice, assistance, representation, and support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Top End communities who have experienced domestic, family, and sexual violence.

We offer the unique opportunity to work collaboratively within a team comprising a solicitor and case worker/client support officer, to ensure that our service is culturally safe and holistic. This holistic and culturally appropriate model of service sets us apart; seeking practical community-based solutions to the most complex legal problems and ensures our vulnerable clients are fully supported throughout their journey.

Role Overview

The Case Worker supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients of the North Australian Aboriginal Family Legal Service (NAAFLS) by providing culturally safe, non-legal assistance. Reporting to the Case Work Team Leader, the role works closely with solicitors and service providers to help clients achieve their goals, implement case plans, and navigate legal and social systems. The role involves regular travel to remote Top End communities to coordinate referrals, attend court and meetings, assist with appointments, and offer practical and emotional support.

With a focus on NAAFLS’ values of cultural respect, collaboration and trust, this role requires strong communication skills, cultural knowledge, and the ability to work within a trauma-informed, strength-based framework. Case Workers are encouraged to draw on their cultural knowledge and lived experience, where appropriate, to enhance outcomes for clients. The role also supports accurate recordkeeping, contributes to community legal education, and promotes collaborative service delivery.

KEY RESPONSIBILITES

Work collaboratively with NAAFLS solicitors to develop and implement culturally appropriate case plans with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander clients, supporting clients to set and achieve their goals and identifying relevant evidence for legal matters.

Support clients during challenging or sensitive meetings, such as child protection meetings, court appearances, and other case-related appointments.
Motivate and support clients to actively engage in mandated or voluntary case plans and activities.

2. Community Engagement and Outreach

Build and maintain respectful relationships with clients and key stakeholders in remote Top End communities to support culturally safe service delivery.
Contribute to the development of meaningful Community Legal Education (CLE) topics during community trips, in collaboration with the CLE Officer.
Participate in pre-trip planning meetings with solicitors and contribute to a coordinated, team-based approach to remote service delivery.

3. Recordkeeping and Administration

Ensure accurate and timely recordkeeping using NAAFLS’ electronic file management and data systems.
Participate in file reviews and ensure all client information is maintained to required standards.
Comply with all relevant NAAFLS policies and procedures.

4. Practice Quality and Development

Contribute to the ongoing improvement of case work processes and procedures to support consistency and quality of service.
Promote and maintain safe work practices in line with NAAFLS’ Work Health and Safety (WHS) policies and procedures.
