This paper reviews the literature on disaster welfare policy. Analysis of the Australian disaster welfare response shows the different functions of government and voluntary welfare agencies

Hence attention to such matters is a required component of social work education, more particularly at the higher-degree level. This paper is concerned with an exercise in theory-building undertaken by a group of social work graduates pursuing Masters studies at the University of Queensland during 1979.1 The theory gener…
Introducing Social Work To Legal Aid
It is considered important to construct models of social work in particular settings in order to refine practice and to enhance the power position of practitioners in identifying appropriate roles and tasks in relation to other professions.

The Future Role of Government in Welfare
This paper deals with the role of government in Australia in the provision of welfare for Australian citizens. Thus it excludes the increasingly demanding question as to the nature of our responsibility for the world community and the role the Australian government will be called upon to play in making provision from our more abundant resources for the poorer countries of the world. Yet the answer to that question may well be the most significant…

The Parental Viewpoint on Day Care Centres for Pre-school Children
The welfare of working mothers is a subject which has captured the attention many organizations and professional people who have examined the implications from their own particular points of view. For example, among Australian studies, Scott (1962) examined the personality development of pre-school children of working mothers, Bryson, et al. (1965), considered the effects on family life, and Nurcombe (1971) made a general assessment of some aspec…
A New Approach to Social Welfare Problems
Inadequacies in social welfare systems are reviewed, with particular reference to the hiatus between the ideology which emphasizes stability and that which fosters radical change. Not least of the forces inimical to change have been the bureaucratic organization and professional self‐preoccupation of social welfare agencies and their personnel. Choices among new strategies for social action, using both consensual and conflictual models, now confr…
