An initiative to assist aspiring community work students experiencing disadvantage.
In November 2019 Community Work Australia celebrated its 50th birthday and throughout its fifty years the organisation has strived to ensure that community workers are qualified to practice. Nowadays there is a vast array of suitable VET and tertiary education for community workers but still some talented young people are prevented, through some level of disadvantage, from accessing these courses.
To commemorate its 50 years Community Work Australia has created the Australian Community Workers Foundation, a scholarship fund that will eventually provide support to these young people.
