Justice Navigators Project Lead

Following advocacy from SASVic, the Victorian Government announced funding for the Justice Navigator pilot in 2024. Justice Navigators will be embedded in SASVic member services and will provide advocacy and support to help survivors of sexual violence to understand and exercise their legal rights and navigate the various support, compensation, recovery and justice options available to them. Our long-term goal is that Justice Navigators become a permanent feature of the specialist sexual assault sector in Victoria.

This role is a unique and exciting opportunity to help lead, coordinate, and deliver a successful pilot, and will involve a strong focus on co-design, stakeholder engagement, workforce development and evaluation.

Tenure & FTE: March 2025 – March 2027. This is a full-time or 4 days per week role.
