Making real change
Children matter in Victoria. It’s a great place to learn and grow.
To help keep children and young people safe and families strong, join Victoria’s child protection service.
You can make a real difference by becoming a child protection practitioner, investigating and protecting the safety and wellbeing of children and young people who are at risk of harm or neglect.
You will draw on your personal skills including:

- collaborating with a diverse group of people towards a common goal.
Working in child protection offers many benefits including:

- generous leave provisions
- ongoing training and development
- access to wellbeing and support programs.
