Abstract

Abstract The establishment of social work practice in New Zealand began with humanitarian efforts in the pursuit of social justice. Social work education in New Zealand combines work from psychology, sociology and law (Connolly, 1999). There are approximately 14 social work schools in New Zealand but only two, University of Canterbury and Massey Universities, offer PhD programs in social work. The professional association for social workers in New Zealand is the Aotearoa New Zealand Association of Social Workers (ANZASW). The International Federation of Social Workers replaces the International Permanent Secretariat of Social Workers. In New Zealand, the Diploma of Social Work is the recognized qualification for entry to a career in social work.
