A little bit about ACSO The Australian Community Support Organisation (ACSO) is a dynamic, values driven NFP, focused on partnering with government and the community to co-design services that create real social change. We’re an organisation with a bold vision to create a safe and inclusive community freed of crime and prisons. It’s our goal to reduce re-offending, and our mission is to help people transition from prison, assist them in the community, stop them from re-offending, and intervene to divert others from committing crime.

Forensic Case Workers will be responsible for delivering pre- and post- release support to their allocated participants and will work intensively with community corrections to successfully reintegrate participants. Our Forensic Case Worker is responsible for record keeping (including data entry and case-noting) and providing assertive outreach and interventions to at-risk and vulnerable cohorts, typically face-to-face and in settings and environments that are comfortable for the participant. Our Forensic Case Workers travel to, and work from, prisons across Victoria and our ACSO hubs.
