The AASW • You may enter the organization by getting a bachelor degree in social work • To enter by migration to the Australian government your credentials will be looked at • They primarily look at how your credentials that intertwine with there education system
What they do • The AASW does things to try and help the community • They try to establish more housing for people • help the poor gain money • Make the economy strong • Build better health care for people
