Bachelor of Social Work

The Bachelor of Social Work is a professionally recognised course that prepares you to pursue a career as a social worker, working with people to achieve changes to enhance their wellbeing. You will work collaboratively with individuals, families, groups and communities to meet their identified goals across various fields of practice.

As a social worker you will provide support, counselling, case management, and/or community development, advocating for social change to create a more socially just society. Using principles of social justice, human rights and respect for diversity you will be promoting social change and empowerment.

With the Bachelor Social Work, you will gain the knowledge and skills required to work with individuals, families, groups and communities in a safe and inclusive way with those in crisis, or impacted by poverty and social disadvantage.

Key areas of your coursework include multi-disciplinary practice, cross-cultural practice and working in virtual contexts and with practical skills based on the entry/application requirements of organisations.
