The Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) equips students for rewarding careers in diverse fields such as healthcare, mental health services, child and family support, youth programs, disability assistance, community initiatives, advocacy work, and specialized areas including services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, as well as addressing issues like homelessness, domestic violence, and substance abuse. Rooted in social justice and human rights principles, the program trains students in anti-oppressive, decolonized, and trauma-sensitive practice methods. With high industry demand, graduates are prepared for various positions in direct client services, organizational leadership, research, and policy formulation. Foundational courses cover crucial theories, intervention techniques, and practical competencies for working with individuals, families, groups, and communities, complemented by studies in Indigenous perspectives, sociological concepts, political systems, human growth, and social investigation methods. The Honours year provides students with the chance to develop and execute their own research project, serving as an excellent foundation for advanced studies or research-focused careers in social work.
