This book gives voice to the direct practice experience of social
workers working in rural and remote contexts using Australia as the
primary case-study. The authors undertake a qualitative research
project, conducting in-depth interviews to examine social work
theory and practice against the reality of rural and remote
contexts. Practice examples provide the reader with an insight into
the diverse and complex nature of social work in rural and remote
Australia and the role of contemporary social work. Through placing
rural and remote social work in its historical, theoretical and
geographical contexts, this work explores a range of
considerations. These include isolation; ethical dilemmas when
working with small and closely linked communities; climate,
disaster relief and the environment; community identity and
culture; working with indigenous communities in remote contexts;
and social work education. Based on direct practice research, this
book challenges existing theories of practice and reframes those to
reflect the reality of practice in rural and remote communities. As
social work must continue to critically reflect on its role within
an ever changing and individualistic society, lessons from rural
and remote settings around engagement, sense of place and skillful,
innovative practice have never been more relevant.
