Australian Social Work is an international peer-reviewed journal reflecting current thinking and trends in Social Work. The Journal promotes the development of practice, policy and education, and publishes original research, theoretical papers and critical reviews that build on existing knowledge.

Peer Review Policy:
All articles in this journal have undergone a rigorous anonymous peer review process which involves initial screening by the Editors, refereeing by two anonymous reviewers and the Editors' final decision to publish according to the journal's publishing criteria.
