Girramaa marramarra waluwin: Decolonizing social work

Focusing upon the current global crisis of climate change and pandemic this chapter calls for the social work profession to decolonise itself and society. It uses Wiradyuri (a First Nations) perspectives to position the importance of Indigenous knowledges in order to decolonise. The chapter also calls for personhood and legal rights for the environment as an integral part of decolonisation and argues social work values and principals give the profession the mandate to work in solidarity to decolonise its own practices whilst also decolonising the global society.
