As a social worker, you'll play a facilitative role in developing a society based on social justice and in alleviating disadvantage.

- mental health.
You'll also undertake 1,000 hours of supervised practical placements in a variety of organisations, including not-for-profit, community service and private practice.
Whether you're passionate about fighting for equity, supporting mental health, or working with families and communities, this program gives you the knowledge, experience, skills and confidence to build a career that creates real lasting impact.
