Welfare Studies (Community Development)
The welfare studies (community development) plan provides a pathway for a career in community development such as working as a sports development officer, recreation officer, event manager or promoter, or indeed as a community development officer. The plan is accredited by the Australian Institute of Welfare and Community Workers if the WELF 19039 Practicum (2 terms) is completed. Entry into this course is dependent upon the outcome of interviews with the course coordinator. The practicum normally takes place in Term 3. To do the practicum students must not only have a satisfactory interview but obtain an overall credit rating or better in WELF 19004 Individual Counselling OR WELF 19005 Working with Groups. If you wish to study this plan but don't intend pursuing a career in the area, you do NOT need to complete WELF 19039 Industry Practicum.
