Becoming a member of an organisation that shares your values can help you achieve the necessary level of professionalism to play a proactive role in bringing about a fair and socially just Australia where people’s human rights are recognised, protected and respected.
Assuring people of your professional standing is the first step in building a career that brings both personal and societal benefits.
Joining Community Work Australia, formerly the Australian Community Workers Association (ACWA), means your education, skills and commitment to best practice will be formally recognised by employers, clients and peers alike.
As a Community Work Australia member your qualification can be checked via the public listing which indicates that you have met the eligibility criteria for membership, work to a code of ethics and undertake continuing professional development.
As well as providing individual member benefits, together we can work for the common good. The stronger our community of community workers, the greater the impact of our work.
