This position will work with individuals primarily in the community and mix of clients determined by the Complex Needs Project. This role serves an important function to support clients with significant needs, by formulating tailored responses to address the criminogenic needs of clients and the associated responsivity barriers, and work with the relevant stakeholders to collaboratively maximise clients' quality of life.
