Abstract

This chapter examines the importance of decoloniality in social work education in Australia. It begins by looking at the history of social work education in the Australian context. It then explores the concept of coloniality and its implications for social workers. It argues for decoloniality in social work education and practice, and for social workers to be informed also by marginalized and subaltern groups worldviews and perspectives. Decoloniality in social work education and practice through the inclusion of Indigenous, immigrant and refugee communities’ ways of learning, knowing, being and doing is needed for effective social work education and practice in multicultural Australia.
