Happy to be here at the World Social Work Day event among other social workers at @latrobe, hearing the different journeys and outcomes of social workers in academia - agree with @LIDSLaTrobe that research needs to be better reinforced and supported in social work #wswd2023

Huge thank you to all who have shared how Robodebt affected them and their families during the #RobodebtRC through submissions & the hearings. To give evidence takes extraordinary courage. And thanks to all who tried to stop Robodebt. #Auspol2023
