| Making Social Policy in Australia : An Introduction Social policy affects everyone and is everyone's business. Even if you do not receive welfare payments, directly or indirectly you benefit from government servides and funding. Yet how are policies and programs actually developed? Can social policy help us create a more just society? Tony Dalton, Mary Draper and John Wiseman all lecture in the Department of Social Work and Social Sciences at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Wendy Weeks is Senior Lecturer in Social Work and Social Policy at the University of Melbourne. |
