Abstract

An evaluation of 400 completed cases over a 17 week period was undertaken by an Intake team of social workers in Westmead Centre, a large teaching hospital in the western suburbs of Sydney. It discusses a profile of the clients referred, the nature of the problems identified and the services provided. In the analysis of the 400 cases studied, it considers the Intake team's services, the skills required by Intake workers to meet the psychosocial problems identified, and the implications for the organisation of a social work service delivery. Recommendations for the institution of such a system of social work service delivery are part of the ensuing analysis.
