Our vision
We believe we will have achieved our vision for a fair and just society when everyone’s human rights in Australia are recognised, protected and respected.
Our purpose
We exist to ensure that community work is widely recognised as a profession, and that practitioners have the requisite qualifications, skills, ethics, and knowledge needed to play a proactive role in creating a fair and just society.
Guiding everything we do
Community Work Australia’s vision and purpose underpin our work across education, professional standards, policy and advocacy. They reflect our belief in the vital contribution of qualified, ethical community work professionals in creating a more inclusive and equitable Australia. Our role is to support the profession, promote its value, and lead with integrity.
Our commitment to this vision shapes the way we work with government, educators and the sector. By setting clear standards, promoting ethical practice and advocating for fair systems, we aim to create the conditions where community work professionals — and the people they support — can thrive.
