This unit provides for advanced research and study in a selected aspect of social work practice through intensive study of a population group, a practice context or issue, social work method or a specific issue related to the Australian Catholic University mission. The population groups may include the aged; children and young people, culturally and linguistically diverse populations; gender and sexual orientation; the homeless; Indigenous people and communities; people with illness and disability, people with mental health issues and families. Practice contexts may encompass any field of practice including health, corrections, disaster recovery, domestic violence, international social work and practice in rural and remote communities. Specific issues may include Catholic social teaching and social work, spirituality and social work, or human rights and social work. Students, usually in groups, may elect to complete a research project in one of these areas or complete a comprehensive literature review. The project or literature review will require integration of policy and practice in the chosen topic for study.
