'In all contexts, social workers focus on individual, family, carer and community strengths and needs, and work collaboratively to support people to achieve the lives they want. Social workers take a holistic approach that includes the individual and systemic factors. Our practice is across the life span, and this includes working with children, adults, families, carers, groups and communities.
​
With a focus on self-determination (not fostering dependency) and holistic analysis, social workers offer a unique and valuable contribution to providing appropriate and targeted services to meet the complex needs of individuals, their families and communities in both disability and mainstream services'.
