CODE OF ETHICS Australian Association of Social Workers 2010 Front cover illustration: ‘Murr-roo-ma Mur-rook Boo-larng’ [To Make Good Together] 2010. Acrylic on canvas, 1000mm x 750mm Original artwork: Elizabeth McEntyre, Worimi Nation (NSW) Mentor: Les Elvin, Wonnarua Nation (NSW) Kungera Art (Aberdare NSW) Story: A traditional Aboriginal family is sitting around a burning campfire. Through the flames of the campfire, the smoke forms a spiralling upward pathway, travelling through the AASW logo and linking the family with the environments of education, housing and health. The goal for social work is to ethically engage and interact with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians to promote, achieve and maintain their overall well being. The three core values that members of the social work profession are committed to – Respect for persons, Social justice and Professional integrity – are symbolised as being cyclical and never ending. The AASW Code of Ethics was presented at the Australian Association of Social Workers’ Annual General Meeting, Brisbane, 12 November 2010. Amendments to the Constitution of the AASW at the 2010 Annual General Meeting required a minor reprint of the Code of Ethics 2010. These amendments affected section 1.4 only of the Code of Ethics 2010.
