At knowmore, we understand that our people are our most valuable resource. The skills and dedication of these exceptional people are vital to how we support and deliver trauma informed and culturally safe services to survivors of child sexual abuse and the Stolen Generations.

Our business support team also embraces this ethos and plays a vital role enabling and supporting the work of the organisation.
With a significant number of our clients being Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, we aim to provide a culturally safe workplace and service. We expect our people to have an understanding of First Nations peoples’ experiences and sensitivity towards injustices of the past and recognition of the work that is required to address these past injustices.
Recognising the impact of trauma on survivors and those working with and supporting them, the work is rewarding but also challenging. We provide a work environment that involves reflective practice, is supportive and trauma informed, providing the best possible environment for this demanding work.
