This is an exciting opportunity to deliver a major new initiative for victims of crime.

The FAS represents a major leap forward in government's response to victims of crime. Established under the Victims of Crime (Financial Assistance Scheme) Act 2022 the FAS provides financial assistance through a simple and easy to navigate process that is fair, sensitive, and responsive to victims' needs. It acknowledges the harm done and is trauma informed, inclusive, and culturally safe. The FAS has a dedicated pathway for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander victims of violent crime, known as the Marra Yattakunar Pathway.

Managing the daily operation of the specialist intake and triage function, including allocation of resources, management of work, communication with staff, completion of reports, and ensuring that the specialist intake and triage function meets daily service targets and functional responsibilities.
