QLD Branch

About us

AASW (QLD) is a thriving Branch with over 2,100 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. Our Branch Organisational Chart is another quick way to get your bearings of the many entry points there are to engage with us.

Join us on our Branch Facebook page and/or subscribe to our monthly Branch e-news bulletin to keep up to date with the latest news, events and opportunities to connect with the local profession. You can also see what continuing professional development opportunities the Branch will be delivering in our 2019 CPD Calendar.
