Kia ora tātou, Welcome to the Aotearoa New Zealand Association of Social Workers (ANZASW).  ANZASW is the professional association for Social Workers in Aotearoa New Zealand.  ANZASW is a membership organisation that is run for and by the members and relies on the participation and contribution of Social Workers throughout the country. Through this website the Association aims to provide information to: 

  • ANZASW members,
  • those who may have an interest in membership of ANZASW, and
  • those who seek information about social work in Aotearoa New Zealand.

ANZASW is a unique Association in many ways and reflects the efforts by its members to have a professional body for social work that respects Te Tiriti O Waitangi and the special characteristics of social work practice in this country.

Benefits of holding a membership in ANZASW include:

  • The Competency Assessment Service  – offering paper-based and face to face competency services.
  • Indemnity Insurance
  • Publications – Social Work Review  and NoticeBoard Kete (which replaces the NoticeBoard &  the Social Work Kete publications and more significantly is issued in a ‘e-newsletter’ format which is emailed to our members)

In addition to these five services, members also have the opportunity to benefit from participation in ANZASW in the following five ways:

  • Developing the profession
  • Developing new skills
