Social workers are champions for social justice, equality and human rights. They stand alongside individuals and communities to improve societys overall wellbeing, especially for the most vulnerable populations. Our Social Work course is taught by staff with extensive frontline social work experience. It focuses on working alongside regional, rural and remote communities, and integrating sustainability into social work practice. With the professional skills youll develop, your career can take you in many directions. This might include working in mental health, community development, child protection or social research.

Or you could be supporting communities to organize projects campaigning for impactful social policy to transform systemic issues like homelessness, racism or even climate change.
