The Bachelor of Social Work at Southern Cross University is a professionally accredited, entry-level qualification that prepares graduates to practise as social workers across a wide range of settings. With strong employment prospects, this degree opens doors to careers in client services, service management, research, and policy development.Grounded in the core principles of social justice and human rights, the course emphasises contemporary, anti-oppressive, decolonised, and trauma-informed approaches to social work practice. Students gain the skills and knowledge needed to support individuals, families, and communities in diverse fields such as health and mental health, child and family welfare, cross-cultural work including with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, youth work, homelessness, domestic and family violence, disability, alcohol and other drugs, community development, and advocacy.Core units cover theories, methods, and practical skills essential for social work, and are supported by foundational studies in Indigenous world views, sociology, politics, human development, and social research. An elective stream enables students to explore their interests and deepen their understanding in selected areas, while an optional embedded Honours program is available for eligible students seeking research opportunities or pathways into postgraduate study.
