On successful completion of this course, students will have enhanced their
professional knowledge, skills and values, so as to perform competently in the
complex field of family centred practice. They will demonstrate advanced
practice and conceptual skills to augment their contribution to the field, to
their communities and to society. They will have developed a critical
understanding of the relationship between family and the social conditions
impacting on families and individuals. Their practice will reflect their
understanding of the use of self, personal qualities, resources, style and
family of origin influences. Second-level units will develop further
theoretical depth and will focus on evaluation of practice.
Candidates must have: (a) a bachelors degree in social work, social welfare, nursing, education, psychology or a related field; and (b) be working with families in the field of human services.
The course will consist of four 12-point units, taken over two years.
All units include
a compulsory two-day residential school component.
Advanced standing
Students who have completed relevant units at level four may apply for a
maximum of 50 per cent advanced standing. Advanced standing will not normally
be granted for units undertaken in a course where the student has subsequently
taken out a degree or an award of any kind.
