Social work seeks to help people to find creative ways to improve their lives, and to shape and develop their social environment.
Social work is committed to a respect for persons and to the pursuit of social justice.
Using a wide range of skills and knowledge, social workers enable and promote change for individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities. Social work is focused on problem-solving, resource identification and utilization, and the achievement of planned social change. Social work is oriented towards the empowerment of people who experience social disadvantage or distress. The School of Social Work at Curtin University of Technology contributes to this objective through teaching, research and contributions to the wider community.
