Australian Journal of Community Work

The Australian Journal of Community Work is the official journal of the Australian Community Workers Association (ACWA).

The aim of the AJCW is to stimulate discussion, debate and research on all aspects of community work. It is part of ACWA’s commitment to foster shared practice wisdom and rigorous research. An interdisciplinary journal, articles are welcomed from all areas and demographic groups that fall within the community work arena, especially under the titles:

Community work	Community work and health services
Community development	Rural and remote community work
Youth work	Volunteering and community work
Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander specific services	Definitions of community work
Criminology	Professionalism
Aged care	Workforce issues
Disability services	Professional development
Mental health	Codes of ethics and ethical practices
Alcohol and other drugs	Attrition rates
Housing and homelessness	Burnout
Family and children services	Public policy and its impact on community work
Domestic and family violence	Education and qualifications
CALD communities	Evaluation

Published online annually, articles are uploaded continually after review and acceptance. Original research falls under two main sections: peer reviewed and ‘from the field’. An article should not be submitted for publication elsewhere while it is being considered by the AJCW.

Enquiries should be emailed to Dr. Annette Maher, AJCW Editor: ajcw@acwa.org.au.
