Becoming a qualified social worker requires years of commitment and university study. As part of the accreditation process, students must complete 1,000 hours of practical workplace placement.

As a casual academic, I use years of professional experience to support social work students during their placement, ensuring they meet the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) accreditation requirements. In this role, I guide students to understand and adhere to the AASW Code of Ethics and Practice Standards, providing essential support as they gain the hands-on experience necessary to excel in their chosen careers.
