to support Aboriginal women, children and families from pregnancy through to a child's early years.
We are looking for a compassionate and experienced
Social Worker
to join our multidisciplinary team.
The Aboriginal Families First Initiative - **** Days approach recognises that early experiences can have a significant impact on a child's health, development and wellbeing. It also recognises that families may experience social, emotional, financial, housing, family or other challenges that can affect their ability to thrive.
Your role will be to work alongside families, not simply provide a service to them.
About the role
As a Social Worker, you will provide family-centred support that may include:
Psychosocial assessment and support
Supporting families experiencing social or emotional challenges
Identifying factors that may impact the wellbeing of parents, babies and children
Supporting parents and carers to build confidence and resilience
Providing information, advocacy and practical support
Supporting families to access appropriate services and community resources




Developing and supporting referral pathways
Working with families experiencing complex circumstances
Supporting early identification of risk and appropriate escalation
Working collaboratively with Midwives, Aboriginal Health Workers/Practitioners, GPs and Allied Health professionals
Participating in case coordination and multidisciplinary discussions
Supporting a trauma-informed approach to service delivery
Maintaining appropriate clinical and case documentation
Working within relevant child protection, mandatory reporting, privacy and professional requirements.
The role will focus on
early intervention, prevention, connection and practical support
, while recognising the strengths and existing resources within each family.
About you
You will ideally have:
A recognised qualification in Social Work
Eligibility for relevant professional membership/registration requirements
Experience working with children, families or communities
Experience in family support, child and family services, health or community services
Strong interpersonal and communication skills
An ability to build trust with families experiencing complex circumstances




A strengths-based and trauma-informed approach
A strong understanding of professional boundaries and confidentiality
The ability to work both independently and collaboratively
An understanding of the importance of culturally safe practice when working with Aboriginal families.
Experience working within an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation or Aboriginal community setting will be highly regarded.
Why Ungooroo?
At Ungooroo, we believe good health is about more than what happens in a consultation room.
Our services work across health, wellbeing, community and social support, giving our teams the opportunity to work collaboratively around the needs of individuals and families.
You will be joining an Aboriginal-led organisation where we value:
Culture and connection
Family and community
Respectful and person-centred support
Early intervention
Collaboration
Practical solutions
Strong relationships.
Make a difference from the beginning
If you are a Social Worker who believes that
supporting families early can change the trajectory for children
, we would love to hear from you.
This is not an identified role, but Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants are strongly encouraged to apply.
Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter outlining your experience and what attracts you to the Aboriginal Families First Initiative - **** Days program.
Join Ungooroo and help us support stronger families and brighter futures.
