Designing social work skill-based intensives for increased inclusion, equity, and accessibility
Internationally, social work courses are expected to embody inclusion, equity, respect, and human rights. Within Australia, distance/online social work courses have a long history, and many students presently study online. Australian standards require that students attend 20 days of face-to-face practice-based skills learning across the duration of their course. Distance students meet this requirement through traveling to attend ‘intensives’: sho…
Beyond the Evidence Paradox
Purpose There is a paradox in social work research. Evidence is generated in the belief that it will inform social work practice, though research findings are rarely implemented in full. This paper explores how engaging with service users and citizens in the research and implementation processes may assist with research implementation. Method A case study method is used in which four examples of the implementation of practice research conducted i…
Lost in Transition
This scoping review synthesises evidence on the system-level barriers Australian veterans and their families encounter during post-service reintegration, with a particular focus on accessing resources across the health, social, and community domains. A structured search of seven databases (CINAHL, JBI EBP Database, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) and Google Scholar identified 509 studies published between 2013 and 2024, of …
The Unfolding Crisis
The transition from military to civilian life presents significant challenges for Australian veterans, particularly in terms of their social health and overall well-being. This study investigated the declining relevance of the Returned & Services League (RSL) as a support network for veterans, explicitly focusing on South Australia. Historically known for fostering camaraderie, the RSL now faces diminishing membership and reduced participation in…

Building Social Work Practitioner Research Capacity in a Health Service
Integrating four teaching and learning methods to deliver transformational social work education online
As responsive social work education is about meeting the dynamic needs of learners, social work educators engage with innovative approaches that promote teaching and learning (TAL). The purpose of this article is to address the research question: Based on our experience as educators, what TAL methods can support social work and human services curriculum delivery in an online environment? Using the co-operative research method and analyzing our re…
Co-operative inquiry
Co-operative inquiry, pioneered by Heron and Reason, is a qualitative, participatory methodology that powerfully transforms research from inquiring about people to inquiring with people. Contemporary qualitative research is increasingly trending from studying others to engaging all participants in research processes as equal collaborators. Consequently, many qualitative researchers are looking to participatory methodologies such as co-operative i…
A transnational student-led, rural-focussed inquiry
Due to the impact of natural and human-caused disasters, for example, climate change, social workers are increasingly needed at the frontline of disaster management. However, some social workers feel unprepared for responding to the needs of vulnerable communities experiencing a disaster. Alongside this, many rural communities that experience disasters also live with social disadvantages, resulting in added layers of difficulty. In response to a …
Three exemplars of Church and agency partnerships growing hope in uncertain times
Disruptive social, health and environmental changes are currently creating global uncertainty. In response, the two authors – an ordained Minister and a Christian social worker – undertook a multidisciplinary cooperative inquiry into the research question: With a focus on three exemplars, how do churches and associated care agencies create communities of hope in the current uncertain times? This research involved reflecting on three case studies,…
The lived experience of rural churches pastorally caring for farmers and graziers
This article presents a conversation between a grazier, two farmers (one ordained), a rurally based chaplain, and a social worker regarding rural church engagements. Inspired by practical theology, these collaborators address the research question: From the perception of the co-authors, how does the Anglican Church of Australia engage with farmers and graziers in rural, regional and remote locations? Utilising the co-operative inquiry methodology…
Examining Sex-Based Delays in Utilizing Advocacy Support Services Among Australian Military Veterans
This study explores the impact of sex on delays experienced by Australian military veterans in accessing advocacy support services within the veterans' non-profit sector. A detailed analysis of intake records from 150 injured veterans who entered the Returned and Services League of Australia's advocacy program in 2021 reveals significant disparities between male and female veterans in seeking assistance. On average, male veterans delay accessing …
Practice Research Partnerships in Social Work
Purpose: This article builds on the Practice Research Collaboratives (PRCs) as an initiative that developed from the Fifth Conference on Practice Research to provide a platform for practice researchers to engage actively around impact and influence.

Reflecting on Social Work Practice in the Northern Territory, Australia
The Human Services
This article draws on four social work practitioners' and a sociologist's reflections on the political environments that influenced Australian social work and the human services from the 1960s–1990s. Utilising collective and mixed autobiographical-ethnography with a purposive sample, we examined the social forces and politico-economic contexts that have shaped social work practice. We focused on the impact of feminism, First Nations activism, and…
Bridging Boundaries to Acquire Research and Professional Skills
Worldwide, social work educators' teaching and learning practices are founded on social justice principles and recognised for their evidence-based, interpersonal, cross-cultural, and problem-solving approaches. Placements are integral to social work education preparing students for practice. Learning experienced on such placements, particularly those involving research, can assist students to develop a broad understanding of diversity, inequality…
Enablers, markers, and aspects of quality innovative placements across distance
Internationally, COVID-19 has forced educational reform and disrupted already strained social work field education systems. This inquiry began pre-pandemic, responding to placement scarcity, which was only exacerbated by the pandemic as agencies migrated to online service delivery and universities responded to sudden placement cancellations. Educators found themselves navigating two interlinked global trends: 1) workplace learning that was changi…
Teaching social work skills-based learning online during and post Covid-19
The COVID-19 global pandemic radically disrupted face-to-face teaching of practice-skills within social work programs in many countries. Across the globe, campuses closed suddenly, meaning students and staff had to quickly transition to online platforms to sustain teaching and learning interactions. In response to this unprecedented and demanding situation and from the perception of the inquirers, this article documents the critical pedagogical a…

Four elders journeying ageing in isolation during uncertain or anxious times
The role of spirituality and faith remains crucial for positive ageing. However, the voices and experiences of elders during and post-pandemic are understated. This elder-directed autoethnography considers the question: What role did your faith play in coping with social isolation? Four Christian elders narrate their spiritual journey leading to hope in uncertain times. The narratives highlight how their faith, routine, and rituals are bringing t…

Church, Disability, and Rurality
The authors document a co-operative inquiry involving two social workers, a sociologist, and a theologian, each with personal and professional connections to disability and rurality. They consider the following research question: How do the inquirers perceive the Anglican Church of Australia located in rural, regional and remote communities engage with people living with disabilities? The authors present from a sociological viewpoint the rural An…
Relationships between the second to fourth digit ratio (2 D
OBJECTIVE: Digit ratio (2D:4D) is a negative correlate of sports performance, although this relationship may be weak in open-skill sports such as basketball. The primary aim was to quantify relationships between 2D:4D and game-related statistics in semi-professional female basketball players. The secondary aim was to quantify the differences in mean 2D:4Ds between players based on their position in the starting lineup. METHODS: Using a cross-sect…

Connecting to belonging
People from diverse backgrounds enrich the rural, regional, and remote communities where they relocate and settle. Research about rural diversity tends to focus on demographics (age, gender, country of origin) while ignoring personal narratives of integration, for example, engagements with religious institutions (such as the local Christian church). This article presents the research themes from an investigation using co-operative inquiry into ru…

Social work field education
Much of what is written by non-disabled authors about living with disabilities does not mirror people’s experiences or opportunities. Literature is often written about people’s abilities (or disabilities) rather than by or with people. Discourse about supervision of social work students can risk assuming that supervisors are people who do not identify as living with disabilities. This research is a co-operative inquiry into the experience of bein…
