The AASW QLD Social Policy Subcommittee is seeking social workers from north Queensland and far north Queensland to join our committee.
The Queensland Social Policy Subcommittee is committed to engaging with critical policy, advocacy and social justice issues that impact Queensland and North Queensland member social workers and their clients.
We are seeking representative members from north and far north Queensland to join our committee to add a voice from the north on crucial campaigns.
