Committee Member, Women’s Correctional Services Advisory Committee

The Minster for Corrections, Hon. Enver Erdogan MLC invites applications from suitably qualified persons for appointment to the Women’s Correctional Services Advisory Committee (the Committee).

The Committee was established in 2003 to provide independent advice to the Minister for Corrections to inform strategic directions on issues impacting women in the corrections system and inform the implementation of gender responsive approaches to policies, programs, and services.

Committee members are non-government representatives with expertise, skills or knowledge in an area relevant to women in the corrections system, or experience with integrated service responses that support women who have been in contact with the corrections system.

The Committee is made up of 10 members including the Committee Chairperson, meeting a minimum of 3-5 times a year with scope for further sessions if the need arises.

The Committee is classified as a category C organisation under the Victorian Government Appointment and Remuneration Guidelines and members will be remunerated within the C classification range.

We invite you to tell us if you identify as Aboriginal, a person with disability, from a culturally or linguistically diverse background, LGBTIQA+ or a young person, aged 25 years old or less. If you identify as any of the aforementioned, we welcome the opportunity to contact you and discuss how we can support you through the recruitment process. Sharing this information will help you access support should you need it and will also help us to better understand the impact of our work.
