Business / Provider Profile
Community workers are the skilled practitioners who work in community services to facilitate the welfare and wellbeing of people and communities.
ACWA is the national body that exists to support these professionals. We work to ensure that their training and skill level meets the expectations of the Australian community.
We work closely with education providers to ensure aspiring community workers have access to high quality training and the public have confidence in the profession.
As a not-for-profit membership organisation, we unite with our members to advocate for better community services. Qualified community workers can join us to demonstrate their professional standing, as well as their commitment to ongoing professional development and ethical services.

Why us
The Australian Community Workers Association (ACWA) works for the benefit of the community by ensuring community workers are well qualified and skilled to provide services that help bring about a fair and just Australia.
From setting educational standards through to determining an ethical practice framework, we support community workers in every sphere of their work life.
Set up over 50 years ago, we exist to ensure that the community benefits from an ethical and well-qualified community work labour force.
ACWA encourages young people who believe in social justice and equality, and older workers considering a meaningful change in their working lives, to consider a career in this dynamic profession.
We consider qualified community work practitioners to be uniquely positioned to provide exemplary service to the Australian community.
We believe we will have achieved our vision for a fair and just society when everyone’s human rights in Australia are recognised, protected, and respected.
