In addition, you will assist in the development and implementation of clinical governance frameworks to ensure ethical, evidence based and best practice standards are maintained; ensure inter-jurisdictional relationships are developed and rehabilitative outcomes for Aboriginal offenders are improved.

To be successful you require tertiary qualifications in psychology or social work with registration or membership with relevant Australian Professional Associations, demonstrated experience in criminogenic assessment, treatment and risk management of high-risk offenders and expertise in the assessment and delivery of psychological interventions for non-criminogenic needs.
