About the program and role

Escaping Violence Payment (EVP) is for people whose living situation has recently changed, or is about to change, because of intimate partner violence. EVP provides individualised financial packages of up to $5,000 to assist in setting up a home that is free from violence.

EVP Finance Officers are integral in the smooth delivery of these packages. An EVP package consists of:

• up to $1,500 in cash (or cash equivalent depending on the person’s needs and preferences)
• up to $3,500 in goods and services such as removalists, bonds, or basics for a new home.

Payment options include electronic funds transfer (EFT), digital vouchers, invoicing and reimbursements. Other duties include monitoring voucher stock levels, ordering, uploading and assigning vouchers to the team of caseworkers and contributing to accurate reporting and data collection.

The EVP team is highly motivated by their work and enjoy a supportive team culture that can balance competing demands and remain focussed on delivering the program in a safe, paced and consistent manner.
