At 54 Reasons, our Family Integrated Case Management Senior Practitioners play a vital role in strengthening families and helping children thrive. This role goes beyond traditional case management – it focuses on early intervention, building strong relationships with families, schools, and community services to provide the right support at the right time. By working collaboratively and taking a family-centred approach, F.I.C.Ms help reduce risk, improve family wellbeing, and create safer, more stable environments for children.

What makes this role unique is the opportunity to work holistically with families while being part of a supportive, purpose-driven organisation committed to improving outcomes for children and communities. The person in this role will bring strong relationship-building skills, sound judgement, and a genuine commitment to empowering families to achieve sustainable change.

54 reasons is Australia’s leading child rights organisation – no ordinary not-for-profit.

Proudly part of the Save the Children Australia Group and global movement, we’re here to make sure that children and young people have their rights met and thrive, in all their diversity.

With the child’s voice at the centre, we provide quality services to children and their caregivers in every state and territory, and across regions, remote areas and capital cities. From our programs to our support services - this is the place to realise your purpose.
