QLD Branch

About us

AASW (QLD) is a thriving Branch with over 2,000 members. We service and represent Social Workers from the southern border north to Rockhampton. The Branch is managed by a voluntary Branch Management Committee (BMC) elected by the membership, and staffed by Branch Manager Mere Vitale and Administration Officer Rachel Austin. Please follow the links below to learn more about who we are, what we do, and how you may like to get involved. We look forward to connecting with you soon!
