VFTAC deals specifically with fixated individuals and grievance fuelled lone actors who pose threats, many of whom have a major mental illness or current mental health needs. The primary purpose of the service is to assess individuals of concern using combined intelligence holdings, and develop management plans which may involve engaging or re-engaging the individual with mental health services.

The VFTAC model is proactive, preventative, and targeted towards early intervention.

Undertake telephone and direct mental health assessments as required for the purposes of determining risk issues and appropriate interventions to assist those with major mental health needs. Following assessment, and where indicated, formulate with police intervention and mental health linkage strategies. Enter initial and updated case information into the Victorian public mental health database, as well as other data systems as required, and assist in managing case and service activity data. In conjunction with other VFTAC staff, ensure all open cases are followed up including those in hospital or incarcerated, with case information fed back to other VFTAC team members, and used in refining and updating risk and intervention decisions. Liaise daily with the Operations Manager and Consultant Psychiatrist in relation to new cases and progress and issues arising in relation to existing open cases.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
