The first year of the program introduces students to broad psychosocial theories provided through
existing units. This is then synthesised into two new social work theory and practice units.

The second year of the program builds on the first, deepening students understanding of the ways in
which culture, policy, law, society and community influence the way life is experienced and the role
of the social worker for those groups who are marginalised or disadvantaged, particularly Indigenous
peoples, those who live in rural areas and/or are involved in social services. These units will prepare
students for their fieldwork in year 3.

The first half of the third year of the program is focused on fieldwork whereby students reflect on their
practice and integrate theory as part of a social work agency team. The second half of the year develops
students knowledge of broader issues affecting groups and communities at local, national and international
levels, focusing on social action and human rights.

The final year of the program develops students counseling and professional skills in preparation for their
final practicum in semester 2.
