Our Organisation

The Benevolent Society’s vision is to build a just society where all Australians can live their best life. For more than 200 years we have supported people at the margins of society: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians; children, young people, and their families; older people; carers and people with disability. We are an independent, non‑religious service provider that supports people to live life their way. We are strongly committed to reconciliation with our First Nations peoples and to promoting the economic, political, and social inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Internally, this role is called a Child and Family Practitioner.
