Course outline

The Bachelor of Community Services is designed to provide graduates with a broad and coherent body of knowledge and practical skills to safely and effectively support, advocate for and communicate with clients on a wide range of social welfare matters.

Students will develop and apply the necessary interpersonal and communication skills to work with individuals, families, and communities with diverse needs and backgrounds. Students will learn how to effectively plan, implement and evaluate programs with a focus on inclusive and culturally responsive case management and service provision.

Students gain valuable practical experience through 400 hours of fieldwork across two placements in approved community service agencies.

The Bachelor of Community Services aligns with Community Work Australia (CWA) accreditation standards.
