South Australia considers regulating social workers

Published: 30 January 2019

In what could become a national first, South Australia is looking at regulating social workers.

There is no regulatory framework in any state or territory at the moment.

A joint committee hearing into this issue gets underway in Adelaide today.

Anita Phillips is the director on the national board of the Australian Association of Social Workers' and she speaks to ABC's Steve Chase.

Listen to the audio of the interview between Anita Phillips and Steve Chase on 30 January 2019, as the AASW gave evidence to the SA Parliamentary Inquiry.
