The SWRB welcomes applications from all social workers wanting to undertake a competence assessment for the purposes of registration. This also includes social workers needing to recertify.

YOU CAN APPLY FOR REGISTRATION AND COMPETENCE IN ONE EASY PROCESSThe SWRB is pleased to announce that the Aotearoa New Zealand Association of Social Workers (ANZASW) has confirmed that they recognise the SWRB Competence Assessment for the purposes of membership with the Association.
Both the SWRB and the ANZASW have been working together to ensure that we work collaboratively to provide the least duplication of processes. The mutual recognition of competence assessments provided by both organisations continues this working relationship.
The SWRB provides a paper based competence assessment solely for the purposes of registration but you can now use this competence assessment certificate as part of the membership requirements for the ANZASW.
For more information on the ANZASW you can access their website using this link www.anzasw.org.nz
