Social Workers Registration Board

Today is World Social Work Day. A moment to recognise and celebrate the people who walk alongside individuals, whānau and communities every day, every week, every month, every year. Te aroha ki te tangata — we acknowledge your care, respect and kindness towards others and ourselves. Mauri tū, mauri ora.

This year’s theme is ‘Co-Building Hope and Harmony’ — highlighting the vital role of social work in strengthening connection, rebuilding trust and creating a more inclusive future.

To mark the day, we are featuring five of our kaimahi from around motu (four social workers and our Registrar) who help lead and support our kaupapa.

The social work world is vast! We know we’re only one contributor. Through our work, we aim to support professionalism, strengthen connection, and help grow a sustainable workforce.
