Conceptualizing Sustainable Practice in Trauma-Related Work
Working with refugee-related trauma has been identified as one of the most challenging fields of social work practice. Self-care has been endorsed as the protection for practitioners against vicarious trauma and burnout, which have a high association when working with refugee-related trauma. This paper argues that social work must look beyond this perspective, towards more sophisticated comprehensions of care, which cultivate the ability to remai…

Migrant women, a heterogeneous population, undergo significant transitions navigating post-migration uncertainties. A wide range of post-migration factors and experiences often adversely impact their career development …

Semi-structured, qualitative interviews and focus groups were conducted with people who had lived expe…

Chinese students’ experiences of learning social work
The contemporary development of Chinese social work has occurred in the context of strong engagement with international education exchanges and curriculum. Many issues in training students for practice have emerged. This study explored how Chinese students learned social work in two different educational contexts in China and Australia. A qualitative insider researcher approach with thematic analysis was used to explore learning experiences of tw…
Claiming and Expanding Social Work Knowledge in the International Space
It is good to be back in the office after the events of the past year have kept many of us away from our workspaces, colleagues, and the tools of our trades. When I open my office door, I see shelves upon shelves of books dating back to the very first days of my social work academic career, and even before then, back through the years of practice and years before that as a student. I have been a member of the Australian Association of Social Work…
Covid-19, Prolonged Grief Disorder and the role of social work
The death rate that we are seeing from COVID-19 is unimaginable, with experts predicting the pandemic will ultimately claim hundreds of thousands of lives. The death toll has already far exceeded the total population of renown cities such as Miami, USA or Canberra, Australia. Behind each death listed as a statistic, there is a social network of family and friends who will be profoundly impacted by the loss. The usual funerals, rituals and customs…

Challenges for Best Practice in Online Social Work Education
As I begin this Commentary, I am reminded of the time when I began my social work education with paper and pen, diligently purchasing text books, and relying on index cards in the library, and the odd grappling with microfiche. There were no such things as computers or digital technology, no web-based platforms, no USBs, software, apps, or Bluetooth headsets. There were no emails to navigate, no skype or virtual classrooms, and no social media di…
Developing the social work role in the Indonesian child protection system
Indonesia is building a child protection system where primary preventions aim to support families and intervention is based on community-based care options rather than the current reliance on institutional care. Social work has been identified as the lead profession in this structural change. This requires social work to be better recognized as a profession in Indonesian society. This article outlines exploratory research in establishing a role f…
E-Professionalism and the Ethical Use of Technology in Social Work
This special issue of Australian Social Work focuses on the professional and ethical use of technology in social work, drawing together two strands of content that have been the subject of many articles in the journal over past decades. Ethics is integral to social work practice, research, and education, and most articles at some point make connections with ethical thought and the values on which the profession is founded. Ethics is infused throu…
Moral outrage! Social work and social welfare
As guest editors of this Australasia-Pacific Special Issue, we are inspired by Stephane Hessel's poignant call in Time for Outrage! (2011), which implores us to shirk complacency and indifference and be moved to react to the unbearable things we see around us. Social work/social welfare practitioners are critically placed to bear witness to these injustices and morally obligated to speak out, act up and resist. Infringements of ethical standards …

Challenging Methodological Traditions
Engaging human service practitioners as partners in research about sensitive areas of front-line work can be difficult for a range of reasons. Time constraints, geographic limitations, trust in the research relationship, issues of privacy, and fear of professional judgment are only some of the barriers that researchers need to overcome in order to assist workers to become involved in a reflective process about areas of practice. This article outl…
Precarious social inclusion
This paper presents findings from an online survey of practitioners working in the homelessness sector in Australia, that explored practitioner perspectives of policy and service delivery to people with impaired decision-making capacity who experience chronic homelessness. This paper identifies from the research that unrealistic, inflexible and conditional policy, program and service responses from both the public and community sectors restrict p…

Raising the Titanic
One of the most contentious issues in social work practice concerns what should be written about people who access social work services, how comprehensively, and in what format social work assessments, interventions, and outcomes should be documented. The present paper describes a structured approach linked to an action research project that was undertaken by hospital-based social workers to identify and minimise problems associated with document…
