@socialworkaust Thank you for your vigorous campaign which has helped achieve this outcome.( and saved me going to Canberra post Covid border closures to protest personally). Was important to see Social Work professions profile raised as concerns me its too low recent times.

[Diana Yallop Voted YES. @YallopDiana]

@rob1townsend @lachslade @alexbhathal @aasw @ANZSWWER The Save Social Work Campaign will continue to work with the Australian Government to fix this historic misclassification and secure the appropriate ongoing tertiary funding for social work.

[SAVE SOCIAL WORK AUSTRALIA @socialworkaust]

@rob1townsend @lachslade @alexbhathal @aasw @ANZSWWER Absolutely. The legislation is a positive step towards recognising the important role of social work but it does not guarantee that funding in the future will stay in line with allied health degrees.
