Social Workers connect people and resources to address life challenges and enhance wellbeing. Social workers utilise a range of skills, techniques and strategies to assess, counsel, educate and advocate for their clients.
Our Social Workers provide support during times of change in living environment, physical condition, or financial circumstances. Social Workers will often be the ones to intervene in cases where someone is unable to help themselves. This may include psychosocial counselling, referral to specialist care providers, and intervention in cases of abuse.
