Exploring the Embodied Habitus of Early Career Social Workers
This article explores experiences of social workers in their first year of practice working in the Australian health sector, revealing how unexpected challenges affected them. The information, collected through an Australia-wide online survey and self-selected interviews, was analysed thematically, and re-examined through Bourdieu's theory of social fields to reveal how expectations to “hit the ground running” were experienced within a landscape …
Refugee and Asylum-Seeking Children in Mae Sot and Bangkok: An Analysis of Unmet Needs and Risks
This article reports on a longitudinal case study, which included site visits in Thailand from 2014 to 2015, and participant follow-up to mid-2018.

It's better than it used to be”: Perspectives of adolescent siblings of children with an autism spectrum condition
This article reports on the lived experiences of 11 adolescents who have a brother or a sister with a diagnosis of autism spectrum condition.

These exploratory findings can be used to inform the practice of social workers and other health professionals, and future research. Implications for practice focus on the importance of explor…

This research reports on the under-researched needs of urban refugee and asylum-seeking children living in precarious circumstances in Bangkok, Thailand.

It then compares children’s perspectives with those of adults who are their parents/guardians and key informants who are service providers and policy advocates. Qua…
Social Network Analysis and Social Work Inquiry
Understanding and positively impacting social networks is core to social work practice and research. As a research method, social network analysis provides an important mechanism for mapping various types of networks as well as the relationships and exchanges between network actors. This has relevance to Australian human and health services given the social policy context that currently emphasises and requires improvements in the integration of s…
Validating a Livelihood Asset Scale in Lao PDR
Mixed method designs are often used in scale development to generate potential items and enhance face validity. Less frequently, mixed method designs are used to examine other aspects of validity. As part of a larger evaluation in the Lao People's Democratic Republic, we developed a scale to assess household self-reported changes in access to livelihood assets following a mine action program. In this article, we detail the process of assessing me…
Rationale, design and methods for a staggered-entry, waitlist controlled clinical trial of the impact of a community-based, family-centred, multidisciplinary program focussed on activity, food and att…
