About Hong Kong Social Workers Association

The Association strives to foster a high standard of professional practice and ethics of social work in Hong Kong and to investigate questions affecting the professional status and welfare of social workers and to make recommendations to the authorities concerned. Various programs and activities are organized by different committees, including career and membership, professional development, international & regional liaison, current welfare issues, medical social service, and mental health social work.  Apart from promoting CPD and supportive supervision, HKSWA makes responses to current welfare issues on its position.  The election of outstanding social workers awards every year not only appreciate the outstanding performance, but also promote the spirit in the field. Academically, the editorial committee publishes The Hong Kong Journal of Social Work annually.
