“…Some empirical literature appeared sporadically in the 1970s (Picton & Keegel, 1978;Roberts, 1971;Trueman, 1975;Winkworth, 1976). In the 1980s, one journal article on the service model (Varley, 1980) and one evaluation report (Rimmer, Pettit, Morgan, & Hidgson, 1984) were published. The latest available publications are a thesis written on school social work services in the state of Victoria (Mahony, 1995) and an article arguing for reclaiming social work services in public schools in the state of New South Wales (NSW) (McKinnon et al, 2004).…”

This study explores the current state of social work services in Australian schools. A total of 65 social workers participated in the survey. The majority of respondents had permanent positions and over half of them were working part time. The number of schools serviced was wide ranging and the median was six schools. The major funding source was state governments, the primary referral sources were school staff, and the primary reasons for referral were behavioural and mental health problems. Respondents reported good support from employers and high levels of work efficacy and satisfaction. A large proportion of their hours were spent on counselling, paperwork, case management, and consultations. The major barriers to their work were lack of time, lack of resources, and lack of recognition given to social work perspectives and roles. Given the paucity of literature, findings from this study are expected to lay a foundation for future studies.
