south australian social worker - home - aasw

Dear Colleagues,

Over the 5 months that I have been Acting President once Niel Mauriello joined the Board of the AASW, I would just like to ex-press my appreciation of Jo Davies in her role as Branch Office Manager for her ability to work independently and ensure the val-ued work of the AASW in South Australia continued. The Branch Committee has had to undertake any functions locally as this is clearly too hard and costly to do from Whyalla. My thanks to those who were prepared to take on new initiatives and to ensure the work continued to happen. I believe this places us in a good position going forward as the Branch members have already shown their ability to work effectively on new initiatives and with a new President appointed it will be an exciting time for the Branch.

The AGM held on Thursday 31 October was a most enjoyable night and reflected the positive spirit there is in South Australia. This was commented on to me by both Karen Healy, National AASW President and Glenys Wilkinson, the CEO of AASW and it is recognised that we are a very effective Branch in South Aus-tralia.

I wish Mary Hood all the best in her role as Branch President and I am sure that members will agree we are very fortunate that Mary has stepped forward to take this position. I will continue my role as Vice-President which is much easier to achieve from Whyalla.

I hope everyone has the chance to re-charge over the Christmas break and I look forward to being part of the Branch in 2014.

Best Wishes to you and your family.

I had the pleasure of talking with Sue Johnson recently about her career, and her thoughts and reflections on Social Work Practice over the last four decades. Sue studied Social Work at the SA Institute of Technology (now University of SA), graduated in 1974, and her first job was at the Mitcham office of the Department for Community Welfare. She married and after six months there, she moved with her husband to Keith. The Department created a job for her covering the Keith and Bordertown area, and then she was central to the creation of the new Naracoorte branch under the auspices of the Mt Gambier regional office. This was the era of the Dunstan and Whitlam governments with their new ideas around the “welfare state”. Her work included doing adoption interviews (when a par-ent re-married it was common for the partner to legally adopt the children), fostering assessments and placements, social background reports for young people going to Court and assessing and administering fi-nancial support services. Sue was on the Steering committee of the Tatiara Health Service. Sue was 20 years of age, working largely on her own and responsible for two community aide workers. She was supervised by Joy Noble from Murray Bridge and then from Mt Gambier, and there was only the tele-phone for communication-no computers or mobile phones. She remembers she was issued with a pale blue Valiant (brand name) car, to drive which looked just like a police car, and caused many people to slow down, including her husband. There were many unqualified workers at that time and plenty of money available for new ideas for services and programmes. After eighteen months at Naracoorte Sue moved to Mt Pleasant because of her husband’s work. She started doing the bridging study required to upgrade her qualifications to degree level. Her research project for this was on the need for supported accommodation in the Eudunda, Freeling and Williamston local government areas, and she held public meetings to investigate this. Around this time, Sue became pregnant with her sec-ond child and threw all her social work material into the incinerator and moved with her family to Tintinara. She gave up her bridging study as well and did not work outside the home for five or six years but involved herself in lots of local sports and community activities. When the family moved to Victor Harbor in 1984 she enquired at the local Health Service about jobs. There did not seem to be anything available so Sue opened a childen’s clothing shop. Sometime later a social work position was re-advertised which Sue had missed and she wrote (by hand) a letter which resulted in her gain-ing that position at the Health Service. They asked her for a commitment of 2 years-little did they know she would be there for 27 years At that time the work was more like contemporary domiciliary care work, in-cluding assessing and organising respite care for the aged at the local hospital, assisting with nursing home applications (NH5 forms!) and accepting referrals from local GPs, the hospital, and members of the commu-nity for various services including counselling. At that time Sue recalls things were easier to organise. The community was smaller, most service providers knew each other and the local doctors both professionally and personally, and they all worked cooperatively with each other. The Health Service was under a community based Management Committee, and the Direc-tor treated the workers as professionals with the independence and flexibility they expected, and this meant the work was interesting and challenging. Lots of training was encouraged when Sue started there, and she finished her bridging study at that time. She also did courses on grief and loss, mental health, volunteer training, and mediation amongst others.

A Conversation with Sue Johnson, recently retired Rural

Social Worker

Newsletter Spring 2013

Sue engaged COPE (the Centre for Personal Encounter-the training arm of the then Marriage Guidance Council) to run courses in the Victor Harbor area. These courses covered self-esteem, confidence, personal growth and awareness, and stress management and were heavily subsidised. Ante-natal classes were held and Sue would run the sessions on parenting with the CAFHS nurse. The Health Service had a caravan and would carry out spot checks on various physical health issues in the community. In the 1990’s mental health issues were emerging and the influence of the context of a person’s life on their mental health was more clearly understood. Domestic violence, marital breakdown, single- parenting, socio-economic hardship and isolation were known contributors to anxiety and depression. Service provision re-flected this and included primary health care initiatives such as: Butterfly groups-for women in relationships with domestic violence and council run programs such as Fleurieu Families-visiting for parents with young families Caring Neighbourhood Scheme Transport Scheme Youth Advisory Service Sue was also heavily involved with committee work for the Community Services work of the Council. These included advisory and grant allocation functions. There was a great deal of staff stability over her time at the Health Service. Staff were trusted to do the right thing, and accountability was personal rather than administered. The service grew from a staff of 6 to 130 by the time she retired. Part-time work was possible. In retrospect Sue feels she was lucky to do the work she did and that she grew and learned with the job. She thinks the stability of the working group contributed to her feelings of satisfaction with the work. She has experienced many roles at the health service. The aspects of her work that she found most challenging and satisfying were working in a multi-disciplinary team and the variation her work allowed. Sue enjoyed being on the local Council for 2 terms, over 5 years, which was hard work. One of the legacies of her work is the permanent Southern Fleurieu Cancer Support Group with a drop in centre in Victor Habor. This service had its origins in a student who did a “Living With Cancer” program of 8 weeks in the community many years ago, and the service has developed from this ini-tiative. Sue also enjoyed a “Strength in Art” group she ran to connect isolated people in the community. Sue successfully ran the Southern Fleurieu Service Provider Network for 17 years which brought service provid-ers together 4 times per year. This was particularly beneficial to visiting service providers. Overall Sue feels she has been very lucky to have had lovely staff to work with and a very supportive envi-ronment.

Social Worker


A personal response from Sally McMichael On September 5, 2013 The Advertiser reported on the Coroner’s Court investigation of a teenage girl’s suicide with the heading (page 19) Social Worker should’ve done more to help girl. The Coroner’s Court was investigating the suicide of a teenage girl. According to the report, the girl and her mother had been attending counselling appointments with a social worker at CAMHS but stopped attending. The social worker did not follow up this non-attendance and agreed that she could have done more. The school the girl attended said they found themselves in a difficult situa-tion as the girl had told them she did not want them to contact her father, and had delegated her health care to some degree to CAMHS. The social worker did not make excuses for what happened. In fact the coroner suggested to her that she probably had many competing clinical demands on her and was a limited resource. Where are all the professionals who could have done more? Without knowing any more than what was in The Advertiser, I want to know where was the girls’ GP, was there a psychiatrist involved, could the school make a judgement to over-ride the girl’s wishes to not inform her father? Why did her father not know she was distressed? This report seems to document disjointed and non-communicative health and school professionals around this girl which I suspect directly reflected her own experience of relationships around her. All our expe-rience and evidence tells us that mental health treatment is most helpful and successful when per-formed in the context of networks, where professionals work well with each other, as well as with the distressed person and their networks. Working in counselling with a teenager who is depressed and possibly suicidal in the context of a separated family (my assumption) is probably one of the most complex clinical situations that there is. One is working with soft data-feelings, ideas, stories, beliefs ,experiences etc. rather than facts and figures and the context is one of conflictual rather than harmonious relationships where attitudes often get entrenched and the ability to see both sides of a situation is lost. I wonder whether any of the other professionals accept any responsibility for this great tragedy. Social workers know they are often asked to do the most difficult jobs with all the responsibility but very little power in the systems within which they work. That they are blamed for failures is self-evident. However some of the failures are failures of organisations and systems that either are not functioning and communicating at all, or are dysfunctional in their processes. One possible action towards fostering these therapeutic networks is to join the Mental Health Professionals Network and become active in getting to know other mental health workers in different professions in your community. Professions and organisations continue to be limited by their confidentiality and com-petitive imperatives but mental health workers need to find ways to operate in a therapeutic way by involving others, where possible, with their client’s consent.

Social Worker takes responsibility for the limitations of

mental health practice


As a social worker with more than 10 years’ experience working in the govern-ment sector, I bring with me knowledge and skills from a variety of social work positions to the Branch Management Committee . My passion, fuelled by per-sonal experience, has guided my career so my social work journey has taken me towards children and families, with a strong early focus on women and par-enting. This has culminated in my current position of 2 ½ years as Clinical Lead Social Worker across the children’s teams within the disability sector. I am also proudly a Charter Champion for children in out of home care, maintaining a hu-man rights focus in my social work practice. I feel strongly about human rights and in line with my social justice values, also volunteer for the Australian Refu-gee Association. In recent years I have taken a greater interest in ethical matters and enjoy being

a committee member for the AASW Ethics Committee. The longer I work as a social worker, the more I value the importance of the Ethical Standards that we adhere to. All too often decisions are made hastily for the wrong reasons. Finding the balance between working within a bureaucracy and maintaining a genuine per-son-centred approach to practice takes reflection, commitment, advocacy and time which is an ongoing challenge for social workers. I believe in this process and I bring these ideals with me to the AASW. As Clinical Lead, my involvement in the AASW has enabled me to keep abreast of current issues within the wider social work community and share this with my colleagues. Of particular interest to me is the move-ment towards professional registration of social workers. Working within a multi-disciplinary allied health team, I see firsthand the benefits of registration and have taken an active role to encourage colleagues with-in my workplace to appreciate this also. I have been greatly inspired by the professionalism and expertise I see amongst the social workers I work with and have met along the way. With increasing pressure to do more with less, I see social workers tire-lessly working within an extremely complex system striving for better outcomes for children and families affected by disability. Registration will necessitate greater commitment to professional development and will improve social work identity, accountability and public image. For these reasons, I will continue to sup-port professional registration for social workers. My commitment to networking places me in good stead to stay connected to issues that are affecting social workers. I maintain close relationships with staff from the Universities and I facilitate the western Adelaide social work networking group. In addition, within my current employment I am regularly in contact with so-cial workers across SA, including rural and remote regions. Participation on the Branch Management Committee enables me to take on a more proactive role in raising issues of concern within the social work community at the state and national level. In addition participation also enables me to keep abreast of issues that impact the lives of marginalised people and have some say in contributing towards AASW initiatives aimed at addressing injustices. Issues in relation to the national disa-bility insurance scheme are of particular interest to me. How this will affect participants is paramount, but with the rollout also comes changes to working conditions, business structures and roles for social workers in the disability sector. I watch with interest and will take action to raise concerns when identified.

In addition to interpersonal, problem-solving and critical thinking skills, as a member of the AASW Branch Management Committee, I also bring enthusiasm, commitment and an eagerness to get involved and contin-ue to learn.

On a weekend near the end of August, I spent two days from nine to five, in a conference room with approxi-mately sixty adults from the same occupational group; all were engaged in counselling/ psychotherapy with cli-ents for some part of their working week. Or as students of Social Work, Social Science, Counselling, etc they were contemplating that role in the future.

They met to discuss the work they do in their diverse worksites of private practice, hospital clinic or community multi-disciplinary team, palliative care service, or even primary school classroom - to share their successes and difficulties; their highs and lows in professional life.

The norms of interaction were introduced at the outset of proceedings, by AABCAP chairperson, Louise Fisher. Participants were asked to listen to each other with an open heart and open mind. They were asked to hear what each other would say with a spirit of appreciation for risk-taking in self-disclosure: to be ready to be surprised or even shocked.

Or if they heard something that seemed very obvious or familiar to them, to be glad that someone had spoken that thought aloud that they themselves, were thinking. Above all, they were asked to show respect and to offer unconditional acceptance of each other without rancour or implied criticism of the person, although critical analy-sis of the idea or thought was welcomed. There were five main presenters; Robina Courtin - self-described “radical activist feminist lesbian Buddhist nun”, who has worked with pris-

oners on death row and established Liberation Prison Project. http://www.robinacourtin.com/chasingbuddha.php

Stephanie Dowrick - writer & former publisher, psychotherapist & Inter-Faith Minister, Dr Norita Morseu-Diop, Social Work Lecturer at UQ & researcher on Indigenous spirituality, Dr Eng-Kong Tan, psychiatrist & analytic psychotherapist, Renate Ogilvie, psychotherapist, counsellor, and teacher of Buddhist philosophy. There were four additional short papers discussing applied approaches in specific settings; a palliative care hos-pice, a rural primary school, a city counselling practice and a treatment unit for traumatic brain injury. All added new insights to practical ways of working with people from the perspective of a Buddhist philosophy.

All speakers challenged us to think clearly and logically, consider complex models of interaction and then to work at dissecting the complexity. In other words, to look at not only Buddhist philosophy but wider forms of spiritual understanding generally; to consider their practical application according to what can be achieved in improving our own life experience and that of our clients. As Robina Courtin describes it, “Buddhist philosophy is my best working hypothesis”. Here is how I described the two days in my own personal journal written in my hotel room the day after the con-ference. The conference participants were female and male, early 20s to mid 70s, from Anglo-Saxon, North American, Eu-ropean, Aboriginal Australian, white Australian, Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese, white African origins (as revealed in their questions or comments). As each presenter completed their talk within their allotted time frame, a succinct summary was offered by the chairwoman, Louise Fisher, followed by questions and comments. Each question or comment reflected that the listener had heard clearly something that rang true for them in their own experience, and that this message was of special relevance to them in their own work. The sense of appreciation, of gratitude and warm respect was palpable. It meant that each speaker was encouraged to say what was important and significant to them and to say it with honesty and clarity. Thus it was demonstrated that the Buddha’s teaching to reject negative thoughts of fear, suspicion, envy, jealousy, irritation, spitefulness or prejudice were heeded. And instead hearts and minds seemed attuned to hear each other at a profound level.

It seemed that even the pauses, and the short sentences were full of a shared communication undistorted by cli-ches or catch-cries of generalisation or understatement. It seemed as though truths were being discovered or heard anew after a long cacophony of noise somewhere had ceased. Everyone in the room, it seemed, felt both listened to, and spoken directly with. Outside, the clamour of the world - the country in election mode as it happened - seemed very far away.

The euphoria of that journal entry, I must say has stayed with me since the conference and the words spoken and stories told have continued to stimulate my thoughts and reflections.

Author: Sharon Kernot Publisher: Wakefield Press 2013 Reviewer: Sally McMichael

The context of this gripping novel is a local working-class neighbourhood, where relationships are strained and restrained, people are isolated in their homes, and Damien’s family live like “scared rabbits in a dark hole”. I was engaged with the characters from the start and continued to be as I read this book. As the lives of the locals connect the pace and building of tension work very well and the main characters develop into people I cared about or understood.

Other than the main character Damien, I found the female characters more likeable than the males. Damien is struggling with just surviving as a child in the context of an unpredictable, abusive and violent step-father, an older brother akin to his father, and a down-trodden mother. Damien’s mother does not seem to expect any better from her husband and only just manages 5 children and running a home with very little help.

Edith, an elderly woman, lives alone, down the road from Damien’s family. Edith’s battles with loneliness and grief are acutely described as they are played out in her gambling on the pokies. In her better times Edith can manage her meagre finances but as the anniversary of her only child’s death (twenty five years ago) approaches, her need for comfort escalates and she loses perspec-tive.

Edith’s friend Mary is married to Jack, however the friendship is discouraged by Jack and contact is infrequent even though they live nearby. One of Mary’s battles is to give up being responsible for her (recently retired) husband’s good mood. She progresses in this as the story unfolds and she al-lows herself to pursue her own interests to a greater degree, leaving Jack at times to wallow in his own misery. Kenneth, an isolated man with a psychotic illness, is sympathetically and lyrically portrayed in all his complexity, and his fear of the voices he hears and of the world is palpable, as is other’s fear of him. Love, warmth, and support are in short supply in Damien’s family, although his mother tries her best. The reader is filled with fearful anticipation as the story of Damien’s attempts at coping with a school bully, domestic violence and responsibility beyond his years is played out. This is a story that every aspiring social worker should read, and every experienced social worker should recognise. As a reviewer comments on the cover of the book “Underground Road is a sharp-ly political novel, highlighting uncomfortable but necessary questions about justice, fairness and human rights-especially the rights of children to live safely and be looked after, to enjoy fulfilled and happy lives.” Francesca Rendle-Short. Sharon Kernot worked as a community support worker in a child protection agency in the northern suburbs of Adelaide for 11 years. She has a Masters in Creative Writing from the University of Ade-laide and a PhD from Flinders University. This is her first novel, following a book of short stories and one of poetry.

Book Review - Underground Road


This workshop took place on Thursday 31st October, when Karen Healy was here in Adelaide to ad-dress the AASW Branch AGM in the evening. The workshop was ably hosted by Social Worker and Family Therapist, Maria Scicchitano in the Dept of Psychological Medicine at the Women’s & Children’s Hospital, assisted by UniSA SW student on placement, Julie Toyama.

Karen was clear about the rigorous requirements of writing for publication in academic journals. She ex-plained the requirements of academic journals in terms of their need to establish and preserve their rep-utation as credible and reliable sources of knowledge in their respective fields, well-evidenced and there-fore able to be cited world-wide, and with articles of relevance and interest to their readers.

Publishing is about communicating effectively.... Rabbits and Fook, Editors, Aust J of Social Work (1996), she quoted. A message familiar to social workers wherever they operate.

Up front about the amount of time required to produce a good journal article that stands a fair chance of being accepted for publication - but expect to have to edit, change and re-submit - Karen warned her audience that a paper of 6000 words could take up to 100 hours of preparation and writing time to reach submission standard.

She led the group of approximately 20 participants through a comprehensive plan of the writing process, including tips for getting started; what journal editors are looking for; the purpose and importance of the literature review; and the essential role of a critical friend in a similar, though not necessarily the same, field.

Participants came from a broad range of workplaces; palliative care, government policy and research (Centrelink and Families SA), academic teaching, clinical providers in mental health, and it was also pleasing to see that AASW members from regions - Mt Gambier and Northern Yorke Peninsula were able to attend. While not under-stating the amount of effort and application required to produce a paper worthy of publi-cation, Karen covered the topic with enthusiasm, humour and personal anecdotes and obviously inspired her audience with her knowledge and energy. Her “take home message” was that social workers can develop the skills to effectively communicate the elements of their day to day work to add to the body of knowledge in human services, inspire others in the process, and get a lot of satisfaction from publication. Kathy Inverarity

This SBS review of the Canadian movie “Still Mine” says it all really. Just wanted to draw your attention to it and to say although it is undoubted-ly “a geriatric love story” and therefore, be warned, confronting to those of us fast approach-ing that demographic, it is very also very beautiful in a number of ways. The only way I think it could have been enhanced is with the inclusion of a bit of music performed live by a trio of older men - just the right age, you understand, on guitar, bass and banjo singing “Hard Times”..... http://www.sbs.com.au/films/movie/15488/still-mine
