Abstract
This report describes the research process, findings and implications of a scoping review undertaken by academics from the Social Work and Community Welfare Discipline, Faculty of Health, Southern Cross University (SCU). The review was undertaken on behalf of UnitingCare and the Community Services Industry Alliance (CSIA). The purpose of the report is to inform relevant non-government services and other stakeholders of contemporary research on the topic of staff wellbeing in child welfare services and programs. The research findings and report have implications for other fields of practice in the health and social care sectors. The report discusses strategies to inform organisations of approaches to support worker wellbeing across the individual, organisational and systemic levels, including advocacy. It concludes with proposed future directions and identifies current gaps that would benefit from further research.
