Overview

Program Description The Graduate Certificate in Social and Community Services is designed for community and human services professionals looking to advance their careers or those seeking a new career in this growing sector. Many social problems, including poverty, conflict, family violence, growing social and economic disparities in health, education and mental health, are challenges confronting the welfare sector in Australia and around the globe. Students will learn theories and practice frameworks that underpin community service work and develop skills to undertake complex case work, group work and social advocacy. This course provides students with the skills to work in a broad range of human services settings including government, non-government welfare organisation and community groups. Upon completion of this course, they may be eligible for the Master of Social Work (Qualifying) program, accredited by the Australian Association of Social Workers, to become a qualified social worker.
