Participants receive education, strategies, support, and referrals to other services. The MBCP team also collaborates with NT Legal Aid to provide social support for men in the court space who are impacted by Domestic and Family Violence (DFV). These programme aims to prevent violence and promote healthier, more respectful relationships.

DARWIN

The Northern Territory is one of the most culturally diverse places in the world. Darwin is a vibrant coastal town with an easy commute, lively and diverse culture and situated right next door to world heritage listed Kakadu National Park. Full of contrasting landscapes and diverse habitats, the rugged cliffs of Arnhem Land escarpment hide deep sandstone gorges and pockets of monsoon rainforests, with innumerate waterfalls cascading into pools lined with pandanus and gum trees. In this role you will have the privilege of working closely with multicultural families and communities. It will give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in an amazing part of the world. This is an extraordinary opportunity to learn about yourself, other cultures and grow professionally at the same time as making a positive difference in the lives of others.
