Mackay Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Family Violence Support Service

The department seeks an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisation to deliver the Mackay Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Family Violence Support Service. The service will focus on the safety and support needs of victims, including children and young people in their own right as well as working with people who perpetrate this type of violence to change their abusive behaviour.

The service will work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, men and children/young people who are experiencing and/or using domestic and family violence in accordance with the service model developed during the first seven months of the contract.

The service will be trauma informed and delivered within a healing framework to respond to the needs of the client group, prioritising victim safety and working to reduce perpetrator use of violent and abusive behaviour. The service will support clients to deal with their immediate safety and support needs and facilitate access to the broader service support system for related matters.
