About School of Social Work and Social Care

Our vision

Operating in and alongside community, our education and research strives to understand and respond to society’s challenges through cutting-edge insights and empowering the future generations of social workers.

Adelaide University’s School of Social Work and Social Care builds upon a strong framework of human rights and foundation of graduating skilled and reflective professionals with practice-based evidence and research.

Our suite of accredited degrees, including undergraduate and graduate entry pathways, enable graduates with practical skills and theoretical knowledge to work in collaboration with individuals and communities to effect positive social change and promote wellbeing.

Inherently linked with other disciplines and research, we actively collaborate to drive change leading to better outcomes. Whether it’s policy reform, improving everyday practice, or investigating the root causes of social pressures to better understand what outcomes may be suitable, we maintain strong connections through research partnering opportunities, connections with interprofessional human service sectors and local community, and within the greater College of Education, Behavioural and Social Sciences itself.
