Social work researchers

Social work academics at the School of Allied Health are engaged in research projects that respond to a wide range of social justice issues.

Our social work staff undertake research that is designed to inform culturally responsive, evidence-informed practice which is relevant to current and changing social work practice in health and human service settings.

With a strong social justice and social work practice orientation, we partner with industry, practitioners and community organisations to conduct research that is relevant and responsive to current issues in policy and practice.
