The School of Social and Policy are pleased to announce that we have partnered with Southern Junction Community Services to develop the Southern Practice Centre.

The intent of the Southern Practice Centre is to develop structure which interconnects the work of the Discipline of Social Work and Social Planning within the School of Social and Policy Studies, and that of Southern Junction Community Services. Part of this inter-connectivity will be the collaboration on the delivery of quality professional social work student placements. Please see the Southern Practice Centre's website for more information.
