Federation University graduates in social work, community and human services work with individuals and communities to change lives, enhance wellbeing and strengthen culturally and socially diverse communities. You will be well prepared for regional, rural, metropolitan and international practice in government, private and not-for-profit organisations. Your studies are underpinned by principles of human rights and social and environmental justice. Knowledge and skills for practice focus on social change, community development, empowerment, social inclusion, well-being and quality of life. Ultimately you will contribute to developing strong and harmonious communities free from violence and discrimination. We offer credit pathways to transition from TAFE to university studies and authentic work experiences so that you are a job-ready graduate.

Meet Harrison

"To gain a position in an honours program in psychology is highly competitive. Studying at FedUni was the only way I could stay in Victoria to complete my studies. The size of the cohort at the Churchill, Gippsland Campus is very small and intimate. This has developed a supportive network between honours students. In addition, given how small the cohort is, the staff are able to get to know you on more personal basis."
