The principle role of the Aboriginal Family Preservation and Reunification Response Practitioners is to engage Aboriginal families with children and young people in three age cohorts: pre-birth, 0-5 and 10-15 years of age to support safe and healthy family functioning, prevent removal of children and support children recently placed in out of home care being reunified with their family. The position will be part of a small team that works as a cohesive whole reporting to the AFPR response Team Leader.

Additional responsibilities of a Senior Practitioner include contributing to the broader team by providing mentoring and support to other team members and assist the AFPR Response Team Leader with duties as directed.
