Why study social work and human services at QUT?

Professionals working in human services are passionate about solving problems that result in human suffering and injustice. They are advocates for the disadvantaged and actively seek to support individuals, families and communities experiencing hardship and anguish.

Our staff are highly regarded academics with extensive experience as social workers, counsellors, political activists and advocates.

Our students undertake significant professional placements, and are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to ensure they are prepared to meet the challenges of a career in social work and human services.

Social work and human services research is an emerging focus area and our research covers areas of social work concern, such as:

  • use of public space
  • disability
  • action research
  • cross-cultural issues related to child safety.

We're collaborating with Child and Youth Mental Health Services, Queensland Health to research the efficacy of family based therapies.
