Are you a GP or primary care nurse interested in improving the capacity of primary care to respond to domestic and family violence (DFV)?

The Safer Families Centre (at the University of Melbourne) is offering casual employment for GPs and primary care nurses to become GP Facilitators to deliver (virtually) DFV education to primary care staff across Australia.

Your role will be to co-deliver group training (with a trained Family Violence Facilitator) to a limited number of primary care staff.

You will receive support from the Safer Families team, all materials are included, and your time will be remunerated, including attendance at a Facilitator orientation training program (six hours across two sessions).

The Safer Families Centre is looking for people with:

  • Prior training, experience or an interest in addressing domestic and family violence or trauma informed care
  • Skills and experience in training small groups on sensitive issues
  • Experience engaging with services such as DFV, mental health, Alcohol and Other Drugs or sexual assault services.
  • Strong communication skills and experience in public speaking

To register your interest in becoming a GP Facilitator, complete an Expression of Interest or contact Safer Families Project Officer, Kitty Novy, for more information at k.novy@unimelb.edu.au
