This course has been introduced to provide a combination generalist/ specialist

and Community Workers, plus a major and minor study in other disciplines.
In addition to meeting standard entry requirements all applicants are required to complete a Social Welfare Course Administration Form. This form can be obtained from the School of Humanities, Communications and Social Sciences. Applicants will be shortlisted on the basis of information contained in this form, for a more detailed selection process. Applicants are strongly advised that academic criteria are not the only ones for entry into the course. Other factors such as work experience and life experience, personal qualities and maturity are taken into account.
This course is recognised by the Australian Institute of Welfare and Community Workers.
