About the Business Unit
The Justice Officer is a position in Corporate Governance and Support team with the Department of Justice and Community Safety (DJCS), North West Metropolitan Area (NWMA).
The North West Metropolitan Area (NWMA) accounts for approximately 1800 staff across 21 sites.

In addition, there are two Executive Officer roles of the Regional Aboriginal Justice Advisory Council, West and North.
Located across the NWMA are fourteen non-custodial locations in the Melbourne CBD, Broadmeadows, Coolaroo, Reservoir, South Morang, Melton, Sunshine, Werribee, Derrimut, Laverton, Tullamarine and Thomastown, plus the Neighbourhood Justice Centre in Collingwood, and the Court Services Unit at the Melbourne Magistrates Court. There are four youth justice office locations in Broadmeadows, Reservoir, Werribee and Sunshine. There are three maximum security prisons - Dame Phyllis Frost Centre, Melbourne Assessment Prison and the Metropolitan Remand Centre, as well as the minimum-security Judy Lazarus Transition Centre.

About the Role
The Justice Officer role is to deliver friendly, efficient customer service to clients of the Department of Justice and Community Safety, as well as providing consistent, timely and accurate administrative support to regional locations and staff.
