Our Voices

The anthology Our Voices: Aboriginal Social Work, 2nd Edition, presents writings from Aboriginal social work educators developed specifically for the Australian educational context. The collection establishes a practice toolkit focused on appropriate behaviours, interactions, networks, and intervention strategies.

The volume addresses critical topics across contemporary social work, including cultural supervision, community collaboration, trauma, and the ubiquity of whiteness in Australian practice. Discussions examine the ongoing consequences of European colonisation and past policies on the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal communities.

Created with an all-Aboriginal Australian editorial team, this 2019 edition provides foundational perspectives to support culturally responsive learning and professional social work practice.
