Compassionate Social Work & Support Coordination

Awen Case Management & Advocacy is dedicated to empowering individuals through personalised, caring support.

Life throws many surprises at us, and while we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can take control of how we respond to certain situations.

We promise we will listen intently, never judge you and always be a safe place for you to talk and to be yourself.

As Social Workers we are committed to the pursuit and maintenance of human wellbeing. We aim to maximise the development of human potential and the fulfillment of human needs through an equal commitment to:

1. Working to achieve social justice through social development and social change.

2. Working with and enabling people to achieve the best possible levels of personal and social wellbeing.

Social Work and the NDIS

Social Workers play an important role in maintaining and maximising quality of life for individuals living with a disability, across the lifespan. We are experts and skilled at navigating the most complex and challenging presentations, helping to find calm amongst chaos or difficult situations. The NDIS recognises the skills of Social Workers within the NDIS Guidelines (2025).

“The main focus of social work as a therapy support is to maintain and maximise your social functioning and overall quality of life. Social workers use a holistic approach to understand how your individual factors and social environment might impact your therapy. For example, social workers may support you with individual, family and group work and strategies to adjust to disability and associated lifestyle changes. They can provide therapy supports to help you deal with emotional aspects of life transitions and improve wellbeing. Social workers must be a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW).”
