Department of Communities
Australia
Приєднався 24 лис 2016
The Department of Communities is a multi-function human services agency. It was established in 2017 as part of a major reform of the Western Australian public sector. Everything we do is about people, place and home.
People reflects our focus on the needs and aspirations of the people we serve. We support people to be the best they can be, and to live a good and meaningful life, a life with opportunity. Place relates to a collective sense of self and how and where people connect to the world around them. Home is more than a building: it has a deep, emotional meaning. While home is different for everyone, it should provide both physical and emotional security.

Children are gifts from God.
Thank you for this awareness raising video. It is beautifully put together and has left me reflecting on my behaviours and attitudes. It has shone a light on my unconscious bias and left an indelible mark.
Well said Simone!
How we can do from overseas
This is only for Registered Providers, Finding how I apply is not easy.
Hi Didier, you will need your employer’s organisation ID to complete the application form. Unregistered providers or self-managed participants can also apply to the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission for an organisation ID. Please call our Customer Support Team on 1800 225 558 and we can talk you through the application process.
Thank you for this, my five year old godson is one of these places. I’ve been mentally saddened not knowing what his day to day life is. You’ve given me some peace of mind.
is ndis check state based?
Can I apply for NDIS worker screening even if I am not yet in Australia?
You need to be engaged in NDIS work in Western Australia (WA) to be eligible for the NDIS Check. We recommend waiting till you arrive in WA to lodge your application as this simplifies the identity verification process. However, if you need to lodge from overseas, email our Customer Support Team at NDISCheck@Communities.wa.gov.au and we will assist with your individual circumstances.
Can we apply for ndis screening check even if we are not employed
Hi Deeparch, thanks for your enquiry. A person must be engaged, or proposed to be engaged, in NDIS work to make an application for a NDIS Check.
@@Department_of_Communities yes, i am planning to apply jobs... as i have finished my cert4 in disability......will it help to get screening chj
Hi Deeparch, an NDIS Screening Check is compulsory for people who work in risk assessed roles for registered NDIS providers. Employers can assist you to determine whether the role you are applying for is a risk assessed role and therefore requires an NDIS Screening Check. You must be in, or proposed to be in, NDIS work to be eligible to apply. For more information on applying for an NDIS Screening Check, see www.wa.gov.au/organisation/department-of-communities/applying-ndis-check
Does Australian Government still require a person to complete and pass State or Federal Public Service Testing in order to be employed as Entry Level One?
Thank you for your comment. Communities appreciates your interest in working for the Western Australian Government. There are various employment opportunities available within the government, including the Department of Communities, which offers a diverse range of positions across the state and at different levels. Regarding Level 1 appointments and the Employment Referral Service, these are managed by the Public Sector Commission. If you would like more information about the process and available opportunities, we recommend reaching out to the Public Sector Commission directly. You can contact them at admin@psc.wa.gov.au . In the meantime, if you're specifically considering a career at Communities, I encourage you to explore our current job vacancies. You can find these listings on our Careers page communities-external-wagov.bigredsky.com/page.php?pageID=746
Is it a requirement to oass the Publuc Setvice Testing at State Level to qualify Point level One Entry?
How do I find out when my screening is cleared please? I meed it to be able to work .. I completed my cert on 30th March. No-one answering calls, so I sent an email, still waiting thanks
No doubt that you're a rockstar 💪🙌
I need to get a seniors card
To start at Entry Level , then go to a role of a Team Leader? Obviously State Government and DCP recruiting staff that have not passed the 'State Government Examination.
Hey I think your wonderful- bless you
Have you ever had someone on a working visa work as residential childcare worker? I am currently one in the uk but would love to travel to aus and as I have experience in this role it makes sense to me to continue in it
Thank you for your interest, Allanah-Louise. To be eligible for consideration for these roles, you must be an Australian citizen, Permanent Resident or hold an appropriate Australian work visa. We invite you to consider expressing your interest for this role and our other frontline positions via our Frontline Talent Register: bit.ly/3GSYhbM
Very nice, thank you
why there‘s no man work in this industry, all are middle aged women
Please give me a job in the Industrie im a man..I would fix this problem..you do not take the. Children unless the child has physical damage..you should be focused on helping the parents with all the help they need .even if there needs to be built a rehabilitation farm to house mothers fathers and children.snd with plenty of working staff to help rehabilitate the family on how to function apropiatly within the community ECT ECT.dont take the children and give them to the gay lesbian community because they can't have kids and want some easy free children.or couples who can't have their own children.this is what FACS are doing .
Because it is a feminist organisation that hates men, always favours the women and lie & fabricate scripted stories.
Why would you assume this?
@@alanporter2769 Have you passed your Public Service Testing? At State Level or Federal?
@@karenvecsei4217 no I haven't is there a reason for this question

Public Service Testing to work in Australian Government Departments
Where I'm from it's called Child and Family Services (CFS), after graduating with my bachelors degree I started working as a Case Manager with a local CFS where I'm from, terrible experience for me, most of our cases were bullshit, taking children from their beloved homes and families over something small and easily fixable was not what I signed up for and envisioned what it would be like, although I must acknowledge some of the cases I worked with were legit and still traumatic for me, I worked as a Case Manager for 6 years and most of that time I tried looking for other jobs not related to social work but no one would hire me, well I guess they wouldnt want a former CFS worker working with them do they?, but I eventually found a job with a non profit organization that focuses primarily on child welfare advocacy and family support, I work as a Assistant Chief Administrator there, I mainly supervise Program Leads and employees, take over their jobs when needed, and other administration work, it's been 3 years working with them and I am grateful for the opportunity to work against the child welfare system and provide support to families who are deeply affect by this terrible system that we have.
Im interested where and what were the little things? How did you handle when it was obviously a false report (example ex partner reported a mum but the claim was a complete lie)
Wow you are a great person.to see through bullshit of how they steel children from families with an easy fix problem..they stole my two children from my partner for a stupid reason and would not let me as the father take them untill the mother got her shit together..after they took my kids .we were told to do parenting courses.it took over a year to get into one .because facs took that many children.they were all booked out for over a year .we sufferd extreme trauma phycological trauma and depression .so did our children and so have our children who were put into care ..we sufferd so much phycological trauma .that I. Couldn't function at work and I just never went back.i was rejected legal aid 3 times because I couldn't afford to get a house to get them home after splitting up with my partner who was to traumatised to get her self esteem back.i eventually enticed my child to run away .my boy.after 6 years..he had to leave his sister behind in foster care.he is very traumatized over this and it's taken me 2 years to try and stabilise his erratic behaviour.after he came home .I had to virtually beg dcj housing to help me get an affordable house .I had to live in my car with my child for a year... Centrelink would not pay me any money for him being in my care because he ran away.so I had to support him on my job search payments for two years ..before all this happened I had a FIFO job as a brick labourer money was no issue at all.now after years of my child being stolen by dcj..I suffer trauma post traumatic depression and struggle to even think about starting another job as I am so phycologicaly disturbed by what FACS have done .my little girl is still in foster care and i have been asking for home visits for 8 years.only just 1 month ago I was offered to have my house checked out so she could visit me..im about to apply once again for legal aid now that I have my own house and I have stabilised my son again .he also won't go to school now because he was moved through numerous schools and struggles to fit in anywhere...they ruined our entire families life.we have two there daughters who lost their brother and sister to facts and they also have been traumatized and phycologicaly damaged for ever..this is so wrong .I want this whole system changed but all the government officials only care about their weekly paychecks so do FACS workers .they take children then over exaggerate the issues why they took them to cover the reason that they took them and to protect their own careers.the government keeps this all secret.kids can go home at 12 and a half year old if they choose .but the government will not tell biological parents this.as they wanna keep your children in the system.and they don't care.thier so afraid of letting a child go home .because if that child's gets hurt their heads on the chopping block.their scared of losing their income .but they don't care about destroying our income and our families Future
@Alan Porter I am so sorry this is your situation. It's diabolical and we have to overhaul the child welfare system.
In Australia you need to sit exams to work in the Public Service
What's the difference between child youth family intervention and community services? Looking at diploma level but not sure which one. This is something I like to progress into university level. I've been doing disability and mental health support worker in Sunshine coast.
when does a strategy discussion take place after child protection services have been contacted? And if the 15 days have passed. Is it safe to say there is no need for a child protection conference? Would they work with me to resolve and problems?
I worked for the then department of community development, then department of child protection with Linda . An amazing person who dedicated her life to these communities was a pleasure to work with her regards Darren Ring
I am an IT professional that needs to provide a registrations system voor SoS enabling the professionals involved to store the information and to share the information put on paper. However it is not the system that makes a good SoS implementation but more the way of human communication. But I hope that we can provide a good digital platform so the children and the families can count on the professionals to always have the data up to date and available to do there work.
Do you have to hold a bachelor or master to be able to work in the department of child services?
No you don’t.
I’m currently studying a bachelor of social work because I thought that’s the only way to get in! It’s really important to gain the knowledge beforehand :)
Did you sit the Public Service Testing State or Federal?
I am a newly qualified social worker in the UK and found this video very useful.
Not by steeling them of loving careing family’s They have never done anything to the kid or abused it they have looked after there children since they where born department of child protection Have no idea what it feels like Dcp and the carers have no heart they are all heartless And no one helps no one cares what you say they just believe a D
Great video!
