The First Human Service Workers and Organisations
Historical knowledge is crucial in the formation of a social worker's identity. Nonetheless, little research has been conducted on the ancient texts on social workers and social work in Australia. It is worth noting that, in global contexts, Australia has regressed in its social services organisations and ideas over the last century. Thus, one century ago, New Zealand and Australia were regarded as "social laboratories," experimenting with new methods of caring for socially disadvantaged individuals. All over real class dichotomies, a shared culture asserted that 'equity,' 'social justice, and 'fair play, should facilitate social connections (Adams et al., 2022).
The evolving Union movement arose against a facade of hostility to jurisdiction in all its shapes, a culture of egalitarianism and collectivism, as well as the behavioural co
oboration of the 1990s as to the realms of economic inequality between "workers and "bosses"." A century ago, the idea behind the Australian nation as a "social experiment" was that in this novel country, endowed with environmental assets and a pleasant atmosphere, far from the existing societal disagreement, financial dislocations, as well as class conflict of an "old world," inclusive and liberal social policies and programmes could be founded and established (Ayton et al., 2021).
From the Old World to this nation, the convicts as well as their catchers ca
ied their 'historical baggage,' concepts about social and societal welfare. Caroline Chisolm, presumably the "foundational woman" of Australian human services, courted her objectives of social reform and social justice in this framework. The charity started to get organised. The Charity Organisation Society was a fascinating leading organisation at the time. This organisation sought to distribute social welfare benefits scientifically to those deemed to be the 'befitting' poor, —, for example, the consideration was with the economical and efficient allocation of restricted philanthropic resources (Bandara et al., 2018).
Examples of Early Human Services Workers and Organisations
Human services is a relatively new field of professional work and research in Australia, and the phrase elicits perplexed discourse instead of delivering definitional clarity. Norma Alice Brown was among the early human service workers and an instructor from Australia. She is deemed as one of Australia's founding members of social work, defining Catholic human service work in Melbourne and Sydney. Dr. Ethel Stoneman desires human service workers for her child welfare clinic, thus, she moved on a fellowship to the Catholic University in Washington. There she focused on mental health human service work for her Diploma and MA in Social Service (HENMAN et al., 2022).
She established the first human services unit in an Australian psychiatric facility, Callan Park, in 1943. She was the acting director of the department from 1945 to 1946 in Sydney, and she participated in national conversations with the Division of Post-War Reconstruction. Brown contended for a national federation of social services in 1946, partially to incentivise the Australian government to discuss professional social workmen about a proposed global social welfare unit to support the United Nations, as well as presided over the three interstate conversations that predated its establishment (Lyons, 2020).
The eSSB, established in 1935, was one of the first 32 Centacare organisations that provide family and individual human welfare services throughout Australia. The National Council of Women (NeW), established in Sydney and Melbourne, in the years 1915 and 1917 respectively, "epitomised female's post-suffrage progressive politics." All women's organisations, such as charities, were encouraged to join the NCW (O’Keeffe & David, 2020). 'The NCW had a range of standing committees that encouraged action and participation in fields such as public wellbeing, exchanges and occupations, education, and children's services.' The CWSG...
