The aim of this second practice education course is to build on learning obtained from the first placement and, through experiential learning, facilitate the integration of practice knowledge, skills and professional identity development for work-ready Master of Social Work (Qualifying) graduates. Drawing on their undergraduate qualifications and first placement experience, this subject enables students to develop graduate-ready knowledge of social work processes and demonstrate competent, independent practice in the context of a supervised field placement experience. This subject provides the opportunity for students to consolidate their knowledge of social work theory and demonstrate application of their skills and practice framework in a practice setting, preparing them for professional practice. Placements will be offered in direct, indirect or mixed service work within a wide range of service user groups and communities in the human services sector. Students are required to complete a total of 600 hours of placement, inclusive of three integrated seminars and two peer practice group meetings, in accordance with the accreditation requirements of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW). Learning is informed by the AASW Practice Standards (2023) and the AASW Code of Ethics (2020).
