The Orange Door Team
The Orange Door team is an integrated team of specialists from organisations delivering intake services to family violence victims and perpetrators, and families requiring support with the well-being and development of children.
Service System Navigator
The Service System Navigator (SSN) role (employed by FSV) for each area plays an important role in establishing and maintaining these local connections, including through service interface agreements. This work includes strengthening access and responsiveness to diverse communities.
The SSN is currently the key networking element in The Orange Door, designed to:
- establish and maintain practice interface agreements with key services in the area, as well as partnering with the local service sector to identify opportunities to address local service gaps
- resolve system and navigation access issues and work with the governance structure to effect change
- monitor progress of service engagement, connections and service capacity and provide advice to internal and external stakeholders regarding service interfaces
