Social Work
The Social Work group provides a suite of innovative research and teaching initiatives in Social Work and Public and Community Health.
Our team of people teach into the university’s distinctive Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) program where we train students for one of the most in demand employment pathways of the future.
Our research includes a range of innovative collaborations in social work and public health, including the recently funded Name. Narrate. Navigate. project which investigates new ways to combat youth violence.
