Social workers focus on improving human well-being and addressing any issues that impact welfare.
The social work profession operates at the interface between people and their social, cultural, physical and natural environments. Through casework, assessments, counselling, family work, advocacy, research, policy and community work, social workers operate from a person-in-environment perspective providing interventions that address issues at both the personal and social levels. Accordingly, social workers maintain a dual focus on both improving human well-being and addressing any external issues that impact on well-being or create inequality, injustice and discrimination.
