Updates
ASWEAS 2024 Update
The Australian Social Work Education and Accreditation Standards (ASWEAS) 2024 is now released with the Association finalising details on a transition and implementation process. For new Providers applying from 2025 we would ask that the ASWEAS 2024 be utilised, with all Providers implementing from 1 January 2026.
Legal services announcement
Please be advised that the AASW’s partnership with Maurice Blackburn has come to an end. With the AASW being very close to establishing a new and exciting partnership with another legal firm, all interim enquiries and referrals will be placed on hold until the necessary arrangements to ensure referrals can be made are in place.
We thank you for your patience and understanding during this transition period and will keep you updated on the exciting developments that we expect to have for you very soon!
