Bachelor of Human Services

Through a number of diverse and rewarding roles, human services practitioners provide support to individuals, families and communities who are experiencing social or economic adversity.

They may work directly with clients providing support or advocating on their behalf, manage the delivery of services and support through agencies such as Centrelink, or work for government in the development and implementation of new policies and programs.

They are committed to improving social justice and human rights, promoting equitable and accessible services, and actioning social change.
