• The AASW has traditionally featured advertisements for external CPD training in our newsletters and Social Work Focus publication.

  However, as of April 2023, the AASW no longer accepts advertisements for CPD workshops that are similar to the offerings provided by the AASW in terms of topic and structure.

  If this change affects you, we now offer alternative avenues for collaboration. We are actively seeking partners to deliver CPD sessions either through live online platforms or on-demand formats.

  Please reach out to our training team today if you are interested in collaborating with us to deliver training sessions.

  We welcome new partners to collaborate with us in promoting university courses, conferences, events, symposia, and brands from diverse sectors including public and private companies, superannuation funds, financial institutions, SMEs, and NFPs. If you’re interested in presenting your brand to our audience of over 17,000 social workers, let’s start a conversation.
