SalaryAbout the role
As the GP Advisor for Family Safety, you will be responsible for providing clinical input and advise into the development, establishment and delivery of Capital Health Network’s (CHNs) Family Domestic and Sexual Violence (FDSV) Pilot Program.
The Family Domestic Sexual Violence Program is a new focus area for CHN. As part of this role, you will support the Family Safety Team in developing an integrated model of support for primary care providers, including GPs, to be able to appropriately recognise, respond and refer people at the risk of, or experiencing, family, domestic, sexual violence and child sexual abuse. The role will facilitate embedding GP perspective into the development, implementation and evaluation of the pilot to ensure relevance to primary health care professionals and the primary health care sector.
The role is part-time (0.2 FTE) focusing on the FDSV Program, with a potential opportunity increase hours to 0.4 FTE to work on both FDSV and the Initial Assessment and Referral project.
About the team
The Health System Integration (HSI) Team is responsible for coordinating projects and program areas centred around improvement and integration of the health system to actively respond to the needs of the ACT community.
The Family Safety Team sits within the HSI team and is responsible for undertaking the strategic planning, design, implementation and maintenance of the FDSV Pilot initiatives aimed at enabling system integration across sectors and improving service navigation for victim-survivors of FDSV in the ACT.
See yourself in our team
You will be responsible for supporting appropriate responses to FDSV and making key contributions to the development of training resources and quality improvement activities.
