HCS365 - From Theory To Practice - Community Work
This unit provides students with the essential knowledge, skills, and ethical understanding required for effective and responsible engagement in community work placements. Through a blend of theoretical exploration, practical skill development, and critical reflection, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the community work sector in Australia, its values, principles, and diverse areas of practice. The unit emphasises the development of key interpersonal and professional skills necessary for building meaningful relationships with individuals, groups, and communities, and for contributing positively to social change. Students will explore the structural and systemic issues impacting communities, learn about community development approaches, and develop an awareness of their own positionality and its influence on their practice. This unit aims to equip students with the confidence and competence to actively participate and learn within a community work placement setting, laying the groundwork for ethical and impactful future practice.
