UWA Social Worker
Alumni Edition
Faculties and Schools to maximise the
pedagogical and research benefits of
new partnerships between Disciplines
and with industry.
A Word from the Chair
I would like to welcome
members and friends to the UWA
Social Work Alumni and am looking
forward to regular gatherings which
combine an essential mix of opportunities for professional development
and social networking. This is a Special Joint
Edition of The UWA Social Worker and The
UWA Alumni Newsletter. Building on the work
of Jennifer Gardner and Laki Jayasuriya, Looking Back – Reflections on Twenty Five Years
1965-90, I would like to ‘Look Back’ on the past
fifteen years of changes and challenges facing
Social Work and Social Policy at UWA:
From School to Department to Discipline
In 1990, we were known as the School of
Social Work and Social Administration but soon
moved to become the School of Social Work and
Social Policy – in the Faculty of Arts. In the late
1990’s, we became the Department of Social
Work and Social Policy in the Faculty of Arts,
Humanities and Social Sciences. Currently, we
are the Discipline of Social Work and Social Policy in the School of Social and Cultural Studies
which is one of two Schools of Study in the Faculty.
Over the years, these changes were managed initially by Laki Jayasuriya until his early
retirement – and then by Rae Lindsay, Jim Ife
and currently by yours truly. These changes reflect some of the moves within UWA and within
the Australian university sector to restructure
ISSN: 1449-3977
Changes to the Degree Structure
The first enrolled students in
Social Work at UWA in 1965 were
postgraduates who studied for two years before
qualifying. For a few years, successful graduates
were awarded a qualifying MSW degree. However, the majority of Social Work graduates at
UWA have received a BSW degree – initially for
graduate entry only but broadened in 1988 to
admit undergraduates who had completed two
years of relevant undergraduate study. In the late
1990’s, we began to offer a Four Year BSW programme in the Faculty of Arts – and, for the first
time, became more connected with all matters of
undergraduate Admissions, Enrolments, Administration and Examinations.
In this time, the overall number of BSW
students has moved between 70 during the period
of the two year programme to 150 at the peak of
the demand for the BSW in 2001. Currently,
there are 105 BSW students in the four year programme – with a noticeable fall in the number of
graduates entering to study in Year Three. We
are watching with some interest as the Bologna
Agreement impacts on Australian universities;
The University of Melbourne has already moved
to change a number of professional programmes,
including their BSW, to become second degree
programmes. Will Australian Social Work have
a Qualifying MSW as an option in future?

Celebrating
40years of Social Work at UWA
Over 200 people joined together
in November last year to celebrate the
40th anniversary of Social Work at
UWA. Held at the University Club,
the event was designed and very successfully implemented by Joanne Dolphin, Rhiannon McKenzie and Louise
Durack of the Social Work Students
Association. Invitations were sent to as
many of the 1200 graduates as we
could find to join with current and past
staff to celebrate the 40th birthday,
which culminated in a cocktail party in
the University Club Ballroom (photos
below). The evening commenced in
the Theatre Auditorium with talks by
four social work graduates from different eras.
Social Work – Then and Now
featured guest speakers Libby Lloyd,
Joe Calleja, Michael Wright and
Louise Durack. Presentations by these
Four UWA graduates—the guest
speakers
four UWA graduates identified some
significant social work milestones and
included a visual exhibit prepared by
Libby Lloyd illustrating ‘appropriate
attire’ for women social workers in
former days—to the great hilarity of
the audience.
Having completed her social
work degree in 2004, guest speaker
Louise Durack is the most recent
2
Libby Lloyd
graduate of the four. Since graduation
Louise has worked as a drug and alcohol counsellor at Wesley Hearth,
which is an in-home counselling service for families affected by parental
drug and alcohol use. Louise describes
this as a challenging and exciting role.
In her talk at the 40th Anniversary lecture Louise spoke of her impressions of social work education at
UWA and social work practice in the
new millennium:
“I have been asked to reflect on
my experiences as a student a number
of times this year and I keep coming
back to the intimate teaching style and
the one-on-one contact that we were
lucky to have with our lecturers. This
is invaluable not only in that it facilitates a better learning environment but
for me it has meant that I have had
wise words of advice when I have
come up against decisions about my
practice and future directions.
For me a common thread in my
experiences as a student and my ongoing learning has been the people that
have assisted me. I would like to think
that I can be that person for a future
social work student who encourages
and nurtures their budding professional
skills and identity. I would challenge
all of us here today to share our wis-
dom with those who are new to this
profession so as to maintain our sense
of connection and momentum.
From this Department we have
graduated into a world of uncertainty
and increasing disconnectedness. We
have been a nation of the ‘fair go’ in
rhetoric but I think our clients would
tell us a different story. I believe this
profession is the point at which our
clients’ voices need to meet and be
heard and be amplified and this is the
challenge to social workers of today.
The challenge to maintain our
professional integrity and continue to
identify as social workers and actively
pursue social justice and the lived experience of our Code of Ethics is
tough. In fact social work could be
considered a marginalised or deviant
activity in this ‘me’ centred world of
instant gratification and remote communication. I think it is an ideological
commonality amongst the social work
profession that we believe that when
an individual is disadvantaged so is the
whole community. To work against the
individualistic and increasingly cynical
attitude of Australians, social workers
need to have a legitimate and united
voice that can reiterate the goal of
equality of opportunity and put into
practice the rhetoric of a fair go”.

The Growing Emphasis on Postgraduate
Research Programmes
Another important example of the changing landscape of Social Work education at
UWA is the significant and successful development of the postgraduate research programme;
there was one PhD student in 1990 and there are
currently over 40 MA and PhD students with at
least one Social Work PhD candidate at recent
Graduation Ceremonies. This huge success is
due to the considerable efforts of Jim Ife initially and of Maria Harries in recent years. The
list of completed PhD theses reflects the breadth
of policy and practice interests of the successful
candidates (see page 5).
As a consequence of Maria’s efforts, the
completion rate for Social Work research students is excellent – and the provision of a Saturday morning seminar series makes an important
contribution to the student experience. Currently
Maria and I are trying to consolidate the ‘taught
course’ pathway for postgraduates who wish to
develop their practice knowledge and skills
through a potential modular pathway of Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma, Masters in
Social Work (MSW) and a professional doctorate (DSW); these programmes will include a
number of taught academic units and a research
dissertation. As part of this initiative, we have
introduced a more flexible delivery structure,
including our Winter School offered in partnership with the WA Branch of the AASW.
Focus on Quality of Teaching and Learning
One important component of the changing
landscape within universities is the increased
focus on the quality of teaching and learning.
Besides internal university monitoring of student evaluation of teaching at the end of each
semester, the Keating Labour federal government introduced the annual Course Experience
Questionnaire to be completed by every graduating student in every university. The Discipline of Social Work and Social Policy has consistently performed well in this audit of student
satisfaction – coming top of the national list of
BSW courses on more than one occasion.
In the early years of the CEQ, we received a UWA award which enabled the staff
group to enjoy a two day retreat in York during
Continued from page 1
which we reflected on
teaching and learning
processes; this attention to
reflection and review of
the curriculum is essential
to maintain standards. Another important aspect of our focus on curriculum change has been initiated and maintained by
Vi Bacon whose commitment to Indigenous
Policy and Practice and to enhancing the quality
of counselling knowledge and skills has added
considerably to the BSW programme.
Fieldwork Education as Central in
Qualifying Social Work Education
A particular strength of the programme
has been – and continues to be – the priority
given to Fieldwork Education; initially led by
Tom Barrett, then by Mike Clare and currently
by Brenda Clare, the Discipline has made a serious commitment to the recruitment and support
of agency supervisors as key partners in the
teaching and learning of social work students.
Prompted in 1989 after an important
workshop facilitated by Libby Lloyd and attended by academic staff and students from
UWA and Curtin University, together with
agency managers and supervisors, the UWA
programme made a significant commitment to
enhancing the quality of Fieldwork Education.
This has included successful applications for
internal and external funding for development
projects.
Currently, Brenda
Clare is trialling and monitoring revised planning and
assessment tools for both
long placements. Another
recent innovation is the introduction of the BSW Practicum – a work experience
opportunity for second year
BSW students. Finally, another important innovation is
the Supervisors’ Honour
Board which shows the
Tom Barrett
names of supervisors who
have made a considerable
commitment to the UWA programme.

Establishment of the Centre for Vulnerable Children and Families
All of the above initiatives to enhance teaching and learning and to
grow the number of research students is consistent with the strategic direction of both the university and the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. What also fits well with this strategic thinking was the establishment of the Centre for Vulnerable Children and Families in 2005 –
after a great deal of development work by colleagues and friends of the
Discipline. The focus on vulnerable children and families had emerged in
the research activities and interests of colleagues and postgraduate research students in the Discipline. The Centre will facilitate research and
consultancy projects with colleagues from other Disciplines, other universities and from the broad range of human service agencies.
The Centre also makes it more likely that we can attract visiting
international scholars to work with us in conducting research activities;
since 1990, we have been very pleased to welcome a number of visiting
scholars who share this interest including Dr Roslyn Ow (University of
Singapore), Dr Martyn Jones (University of Bath), Associate Professor
Kate Mevik (Northern Regional University, Norway), Professor Hyung
Shik Kim (Chung-Ang University, South Korea) and Professor David
Thorpe (University of Lancaster).
Establishment of the UWA Alumni
I am very pleased to be able to reflect on the significant commitment of colleagues past and present to the professional education of social
workers; it is now time to look forward to the next anniversary in 2015
when we shall celebrate 50 years of Social Work at UWA. As you will
see in the Alumni Fund brochure, the Social Work Alumni are committed
to a number of important Key Initiatives for students, for graduates and
for researchers.
I am particularly interested in the Mentoring and Networking initiatives for new graduates and for practitioners and mangers in need of
timely consultation and support. Obviously, I am hopeful that this will
become a valuable resource for UWA social workers. I hope there will be
recognition and support for all of these Key Initiatives. To this end, I am
delighted that Sev Ozdowski is able to provide the Inaugural Lecture, The
Role of Social Workers in Setting National Policy Goals, for the Alumni
launch at the University Club in July this year.

Professor Jayasuriya honoured
Continued from page 1
Laki’s long and distinguished record of engagement in
public affairs at international, national and state levels. It is
clear that Laki has led the way in charting new directions
for Australian multiculturalism and citizenship. He was the
first Asian to be appointed to the Immigration Advisory
Council and was Chairman, National Advisory and Coordinating Committee on Multicultural Education. Over
the past three years he researched and significantly contributed to the formulation of the WA’s Multiculturalism
Charter (2004) as well as the establishment of Australia’s
first Anti-Racism Strategy.
Prof Jayasuriya has been one of Australia’s leading
public intellectuals - one of the very few from ethnic
minority backgrounds – leading, engaging, and provoking,
debate on issues such as anti racism, justice, human rights
4
and multicultural policy. He best exemplifies the role of
public intellectual as ‘speaking truth to power’.
In delivering his Convocation address at the graduation ceremony, Laki expressed his gratitude to his social
work colleagues:
I owe a special word of gratitude and appreciation
to my colleagues past and present in Social Work and Social Policy. Thank you for enduring me – warts and all –
over these many years. I could not have wished for a
greater bunch of work mates. You have been a great
source of support and strength to me in all my scholarly
endeavours.
Laki has been a mentor and role model for many of
us, in the government, in the community, and in academic
life. We congratulate Professor Laksiri Jayasuriya on his
hugely significant achievement.

The Centre for Vulnerable Children and Families
Centre Update by CFVC Director Susan Diamond
The Centre for
Vulnerable Children and
Families, with significant
and much appreciated
support from the Department for Community
Development is just about
to complete its second
year of operation. What
an amazing journey it has
been.
Developed from a
vision in the Discipline of Social Work
and Social Policy to promote high quality research in relation to vulnerable
children and families, to advance scholarly debate and to advocate for this
group, the Centre has been working
hard for a sustainable position from
which to meet these aims successfully.
In the two years since inception the
Centre has generated an income of
nearly $300,000 and at the end of June
2006 has a small surplus with which to
purchase some vital research and project support. The bulk of the monies
have of course been spent in meeting a
variety of contracted research, evaluative, consultative and project support
obligations. This has been possible because of the input and commitment of
academic staff from the Discipline of
Social Work and Social Policy, with
whom the Centre works in developing
successful partnerships and opportunities.
In relation to these the Centre is
interested in developing foci around
some key activity and interest areas. It
is anticipated that this strategy will assist in creating a depth of expertise in
the Centre and associated post-graduate
research opportunities. Emerging foci
around which a critical approach is already apparent include vulnerable children and young people in out of home
care and leaving care; a new child wellbeing and safety discourse; policy and
service development for vulnerable
children and families;
vulnerable children
and families and child
rights; government,
corporate and community responsibility
in vulnerability; social policy development particularly as
it relates to cultural vulnerability; and
vulnerability, mental health and drug
use.
The Centre is on the cusp of becoming sustainable and is now actively
developing proposals for inclusive, interdisciplinary, medium term projects
that will inform policy and practice, and
advocate for the rights of vulnerable
children and families. Academic, industry and corporate partnership is being
sought.
In addition the Centre is actively
involved in a number of industry forums, alliances and networks which
have enabled input to the local and national agendas for vulnerable children
and families, and for the Centre’s concern for this group to be visible.
Professor Dorothy Scott launches
the Centre at the University Club
in September 2005.

Louise Marriott
In London—
one year after the bombings
One year ago this July social worker
Louise Marriott was at the site of the London train bombings, helping traumatised
survivors as they were brought up from the Underground
railway blasts. Louise had been working nearby at her job
with the Children with Disabilities Team at the City of Westminster when she heard news of the attacks.
“As I have first aid qualifications I went down to the
Edgeware Road site where a trauma centre had been set up. I
treated some of the victims as they were brought up from the
Edgeware Road blasts, and also did some debriefing with
some of the people who were in shock”, Louise said.
After graduating from UWA at the end of 2002,
Louise worked at Fremantle Hospital and Wanslea Family
Services before travelling to the UK to work in March 2005.
She is still a social worker with the City of Westminster, and
a year after the bombings Louise reports:
“The feeling in London is one of victory, in that people are defying the terrorists and getting on with their lives
after the bombings. People are still catching the tubes and
buses and it's almost like they are carrying on for those who
were injured or killed.
“Since the bombings there actually seems to be a
greater acceptance of Islam and Muslim people generally, as
people realise that the fanaticism the terrorists preach is so
far from the respect and gentle religion practiced by many
everyday Muslim families in London.
“I went to a memorial service at Edgeware Road
where people were gathered to remember their lost ones and
to lay flowers. It was a sombre occasion and quite eerie to be
at the site where so many people lost their lives a year ago.
There was also a feeling of great sadness and loss. The tubes
were still running, and life was still going on for many, while
for some people it was over forever.”
Graduate Profiles are planned as a regular feature in forthcoming Alumni newsletters and will provide a conduit for
connecting and enhancing the Social Work Alumni community. We encourage graduates to send in news about their current
activities to the Administrative or Editorial contacts listed on the back page of this edition.
Social Work at UWA—The formative years
1967:The first UWA Social Work graduates
In A Word from the Chair, Mike Clare describes some
significant milestones in the history of Social Work at UWA,
focussing particularly on developments during the last 15
years. An earlier history is chronicled in Looking Back: Reflections on Twenty Five Years by Jennifer Gardner, which
was commissioned by Laki Jayasuriya and published by the
UWA Social Work Department in 1990. Looking Back provided the ‘historic’ images published in this edition of The
UWA Social Worker, and it was also the primary source of
‘Key Developments’ listed on the opposite page. This
‘snapshot’ provides a basic timeline of events between 1965
and 1990 and does not do justice to some of the pivotal developments during the early years, such as the establishment
of the innovative Family Services Centre and the financial
counselling initiative, which was unique in its day. For a
detailed history of events from 1965 to 1990 refer to Looking
Back: Reflections on 25 Years.
Looking Back also describes contributions made by
some key individuals and staff members during the forma6
tive years, including Walter Tauss, ‘Teddy’ Stockbridge,
Barbara Evans, Frank Pavlin, Laksiri Jayasuriya, Jean Teasdale, Frances Donovan, Grace Vaughan, Jan Carter, Jennifer
Page, Winsome Roberts (formerly Tucker), Brian Wooller,
Diana Silver, Joe Calleja, Grant Elliott, Brian Cheers,
Patricia Harris (formerly Tulloch), Audrey Bolger, Pat Hansen, Mary Dynan, Lorinne Boyce, Jim Ife, Owen Hicks, Rae
Lindsay, Tom Barrett, Maria Harries, Mike Clare, Leonie
Nelson (formerly Butland), Marie Harris, Pam Hayden, and
Rosa Catalano.
UWA Senior Academics Ken Walker, Gordon Reid,
Brian de Garis, John Jory and Peter Boyce were true friends
of Social Work, as were Board members Aubrey Yates, Veronica Brady, Richard Harding, Mike Hobbs, and Peter Underwood. Visiting Lecturers, including Archie Ellis, Chris
Reynolds, Guy Hamilton, Laurie Wood, Val French and Jacquie Musk were some who contributed to the innovative and
multi-disciplinary focus of Social Work teaching at UWA.
Significant input was provided by overseas academics
who were on staff, including Kathleen Hill (USA), Ben
Schlesinger (Canada), Eric Butterworth (UK), Christine Hallett (UK); and visiting academics Richard Lazarus (USA),
Philip Bean, Olive Stevenson, Robert Pinker and Roy Parker
(all from the UK)
From the government and public sector, Keith Maine,
Peter Gorton, Des Semple, Barry MacKinnon and Ray
Young were supportive in a variety of ways.
Regrettably, limitations of space prevent the publication of a more detailed record of the formative years, and
once again, Looking Back should be consulted for a more
comprehensive description of key individuals and their significant contributions to the development of Social Work at
UWA.

The Flying V
In concluding her speech at the 40th Anniversary lecture last year Louise
Durack used the metaphor of The Flying V, prompting much interest
amongst the audience—including requests for the written version.
The Flying V is reproduced here with the kind permission of Louise.

Then and now:
When you see geese flying along in a V formation, you might consider what science has discovered as to why it is they fly that way.
As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in the V formation, the whole flock adds at least
twenty per cent greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.
People who share a common direction and a sense of continuity can
get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are travelling on the thrust of one another.
When a goose falls from formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance
of trying to do it alone. It then quickly gets back into the formation, so as to
take advantage of the lifting power of one another. If we have as much sense
as geese, we will stay in formation with those people who are headed the
same way as we are.
When the head goose gets tired, it rotates back in the wings and another goose takes its place. It is sensible to take turns with long demanding
jobs, whether with people or with geese flying south.
Geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their
speed. What messages do we give when we honk from behind?
Finally and most importantly, when a goose gets sick or is wounded
by gunshot and falls out of formation, two other geese fall out of formation
with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They stay
with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies; and only then do
they launch out on their own or with another formation to catch up with
their group. If we have the sense of geese, we will stand by each other like
that.
We as the social work profession don’t know what challenges we
may face in the future but we need to stick together so at least we know we
are going together.
