About the role:
This is an exciting opportunity to progress your career and obtain experience working as a Senior Information Officer in the Courts & Prosecution Services Division of the Victoria Police Legal Services Department (LSD). Our vision is to be a centre of prosecutorial and legal excellence, with people who are recognised as being fair, just and valued partners in the Victorian justice system.
The Victoria Police LSD provides legal services and advice to support policing, courts, and the Victorian community. The LSD is led by an Executive Director (who is also the organisation's General Counsel) and employs over 800 staff spread across four divisions – the Office of the Executive Director; the Specialist Legal and Litigation Division; the Courts & Prosecution Services Division; and the Legal Business Operations Division.
This role is performed within the National Information Sharing Support Unit (NISSU) which is aligned with the Subpoena Coordination Unit (SCU). NISSU provides responses to orders received from the Family Court and Federal Circuit Court of Australia under the National Information Sharing Framework. The Unit will provide information to the various registries of the Court in each State from Victoria Police holdings. This vital information will greatly assist the Court in making determinations to ensure the protection of children and other vulnerable people where family violence is a risk.
The response to orders requires NISSU to review, analyse, and summarise complex and at times distressing family violence content. Recognition of this should be a consideration for the applicant when applying for this role.
The VPS3 Senior Information Officer will report directly to the VPS4 Assistant Manager of NISSU who reports to the Senior Sergeant of the Subpoena Coordination Unit (SCU).
Victoria Police is a contemporary and agile workplace and supports flexible working arrangements.
