Government moves to support social workers workforce

Beehive Press Release – https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/government-moves-support-social-workers-workforce

The Social Workers Registration Act has passed its first reading in Parliament tonight.  It will extend the experience pathway for social worker registration by four years, to 28 February 2028.  

This will provide extra time for people without prescribed qualifications, but with years of practical experience, to register as social workers through the experience pathway.

“Following recent pay equity progress, the Government is demonstrating its ongoing commitment to supporting social workers as they respond to increasingly complex and diverse challenges in our communities,” Minister for Social Development and Employment Carmel Sepuloni said.
