Chief Investigator

The aim of this project is to research the benefits and challenges of social work practice in GP clinics to develop evidence-based pathways and integrated care options focused on improving holistic health outcomes for the community and in particular older people, people with chronic disease and first Nation people. This will be achieved by providing funding to GP clinics to hire and support social workers and social work students in their practice. The research will evaluate the project, document and examine the social work contributions and outcomes in GP, and investigate pathways for funding social work in GP.
