Role of Social workers in the NDIS space
Social workers are allied health professionals who provide a range of services to help people improve their wellbeing. They must attain a degree qualification through a recognised tertiary institution and maintain continuing professional development to maintain registration.
Social Workers must be registered with the Australian Association of Social Workers - AASW and therefore are accountable for their practice before they can provide therapeutic services within the NDIS. They must undertake professional clinical supervision to be able to practice within the NDIS.
The profession is recognised through the Allied Health Professions Australia - AHPA.
