Manager - Family Law Information Sharing Program

South Australia Police
Job reference: 857720
Location: 5000 - ADELAIDE
Job status: Long Term Contract
Eligibility: Open to Everyone

Full-time vacancy up to 01/07/2030.

SAPOL Crime Service provides support in the investigation of crime which by reason of seriousness, public expectation, expertise or resource requirements is beyond the capacity of Local Service Areas and Districts.

Public Protection Branch (PPB) provides centralised management, coordination and support for a SAPOL’s response to family and domestic violence; sexual crime investigation (contact and online offences); vulnerable victims (including elderly abuse); child sex offenders; child protection; multi-agency protection initiatives; and high-risk offender management. Special Crime Investigation Section (SCIS) is one of three sections within PPB. SCIS has responsibility for the investigation of complex and serial, sexually based crime and to support LSAs/Districts in the investigation of less complex offences, by reason of their nature, public expectation or need for specialist expertise. Significant and complex investigations undertaken by SCIS may be conducted by a declared Task Force.

Participation in the Family Law Information Sharing (Co-location) Program (FLIS) is SAPOL’s contribution to a Commonwealth information sharing initiative between the federal family law system and the state agencies responsible for family safety and child welfare. The initiative co-locates police and child protection officials at Commonwealth Law Courts in order to improve the timeliness and quality of information sharing, facilitate more collaborative inter-jurisdictional working arrangements and to enhance the identification and management of family safety risks.

The FLIS Project Manager (Project Manager) is responsible for the management of SAPOL’s FLIS, and is SAPOL’s co-located representative at the Roma Mitchell Commonwealth Law Courts. The Project Manager is responsible for the preparation and distribution of an information sharing product that is released as evidence to better inform judicial officers of any historical and contemporary risks relevant to family and child safety as well as assisting judicial officers with risk management while ensuring information release is appropriate and does not compromise investigations or other sensitive police activity.

The Project Manager represents SAPOL on a range of national reference groups, stakeholder committees and project evaluation groups, and is required to develop and maintain strong relationships with a range of stakeholders from federal and state agencies as well as judicial officers and court officials across Australia. The Project Manager works closely with Federal Court officials including justices, judges, registrars and family consultants in order to facilitate a more collaborative approach to managing risk and safety of families in the family law system, which entails both the provision of information to the Federal Court, and management of processes to request and receive information from the Federal Court and disseminate appropriately within SAPOL.

The Project Manager is responsible for the preparation of periodic reports (milestone reports) to the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department (AGD) as required by the Commonwealth funding agreement.
