Family Support Worker

Make a Real Impact Where It Matters Most

This isn’t just another family support role — at 54 reasons, you’ll be part of a purpose-driven team that’s deeply embedded in the Gippsland community, working across Moe, Morwell and Traralgon to support families during their most vulnerable moments. What sets this role apart is the opportunity to work holistically with families from diverse backgrounds, including CALD and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, using trauma-informed, culturally respectful approaches that truly make a difference.

Your expertise in child development, your ability to build trust, and your strong organisational skills will empower families to thrive.

With us, you’ll do more than deliver services — you’ll help shape futures. If you’re passionate about early childhood and family wellbeing, and ready to bring your knowledge, empathy and drive to a team that values inclusion, growth and connection, we’d love to hear from you.

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

Your knowledge and empathy are key assets in delivering impactful family support and early childhood programs. Always eager to learn and ready to dive in, you bring energy and initiative to every challenge, helping ensure our programs thrive and truly support those who need them most.
