Course description
This course is not offered at Ipswich in 2012.
Assists students to understand, analyse and work with a wide range of human service organisations. Implications of the centrality of organisations for social work and the skills and knowledge required to work in organisations are explored. Theories and concepts to guide effective social work in organisational contexts are developed, explained and applied to practice situations. This subject requires reflection by students on the experiences gained through their practicum placements.
