About School of Social Work and Social Care

Our vision

Operating in and alongside community and informed by practice experience and cutting-edge research, our education empowers future generations of social work and human service professionals to understand and respond to society’s challenges.

Adelaide University’s School of Social Work and Social Care offers programs that are built upon a strong framework of human rights, practice experience and evidence-based knowledge to develop skilled and reflective social work and human service professionals.

Our suite of accredited degrees, including undergraduate and graduate entry pathways, enable graduates with practical skills and theoretical knowledge to work in collaboration with individuals and communities to effect positive social change and promote wellbeing.

Inherently linked with other disciplines and research, we actively collaborate to drive change leading to improved outcomes. Whether it’s policy reform, improving everyday practice or investigating the root causes of social challenges to better understand what outcomes may be suitable, we maintain strong connections through research partnering opportunities with interprofessional human service sectors and the local community, and across the greater College of Education, Behavioural and Social Sciences.
