About NTV
No to Violence is Australia’s peak body for individuals and organisations that work with men that use violence. We provide training, sector development and advocacy across the sector. We operate the Men’s Referral Service, providing a counselling service and referral pathways directly to men who use violence. As a pro-feminist organisation, women and children are at the centre of what we do - by ending men’s use of family violence, families, individuals, and communities are safer.
We have strong values of Change, Leadership, Gender Equity and Accountability.
About Safe Steps

About the role
Role Type: Full Time, Ongoing
Classification: SCHADS Level 5 (plus 2%) + Superannuation
To ensure the immediate safety and support of women and children impacted by family violence is the essential purpose of the Family Safety Practice Lead. This integrated practice role will complement the important work of both NTV and Safe Steps by integrating the service provision and practice to ensure that through family contact work, we always keep both the men from a risk perspective and victim survivors from a safety perspective, in view.
NTV and Safe Steps Family Violence Response Centre recognise that while not all perpetrators of family violence are men, the majority of family violence is gendered and perpetrated by men, against women. The role of the Family Safety Practice Lead aims to keep the men who use violence in view, monitoring and informing risk within the safety planning context for victim survivors and families.
The Family Safety Practice Lead will operate within the Men’s Accommodation and Counselling Service (MACS) provided by No to Violence. The Family Safety Practice Lead will be co-located in an integrated service model between NTV and Safe Steps.
