Abstract

Australia has seen an increase in social work student enrolments, resulting in increasing competition among universities in finding appropriate placements, all within a neo-liberal context affecting capacity of organisations to support student placements. To address this, a student placement program was developed by the Queensland Field Educators Network and a large government organisation, facilitated by three Queensland universities. This paper provides a reflective discussion on the learnings from this initiative, focusing on the importance of collaboration to enable better access to placement opportunities and quality of learning opportunities for students.
