Aboriginal Client Engagement Officer

at  Central Australian Aboriginal Congress

The Client Engagement Officer supports the engagement of Stolen Generation members and their families to access the Congress Link-Up Service through client liaison and cultural brokerage, and consulting, planning and organising events and activities with and for members to assist in healing.
The Congress Link-up Service is an integral service within Congress’ Youth and Family Services Section of the Child, Youth and Family Services Division. The service is a part of a national program that aims to supports members of Stolen Generations – that is, any Aboriginal who was removed, adopted, fostered or placed in an institution or family who are searching for loved ones that were removed, adopted, fostered or placed in an institution. Congress Link-Up provides family tracing, reunion and counselling services to the Stolen Generations to reunite them with their families, communities, traditional country and culture.
Congress provides a comprehensive primary health care service to Aboriginal people in Alice Springs and nearby remote communities.
