Agent TypeOrganisationActivities & OccupationsProfessional organisationsHistoryThe Victorian, later Australian Association of Hospital Almoners and the Australian Association of Social Workers were separately founded on a state basis and later federated on a national level. During the 1950s both branches amalgamated as the Australian Association of Social Workers. In 1976 there was a further change when the industrial functions of the Australian Association of Social Workers were subsumed in to a new organisation of social workers known as the Australian Social Welfare Union.
