My name’s Michael, and I’m a Child Safety Support Officer.
It’s hard to describe a “standard day” in my job — because every day is different. Some days I’m behind a desk doing admin work. Other days I’m out meeting with families and children, listening to their stories, understanding their needs, and helping put the right supports in place.
At the end of the day, everything I do comes back to one purpose — supporting our communities.
If my role disappeared tomorrow, I wouldn’t just miss the job itself. I’d be disappointed because communities need jobs like this. They need people who can connect, advocate, and make sure no child or family falls through the cracks.
That’s why I’m taking part in the Raising Voices, Reforming the System campaign — and why I’m asking you to do the same.
Please take a few minutes to share your experience in our union survey.
Every story helps build the case for real reform in child safety.
