He pānui whakahirahira - Registration matters!
In 2021 it became mandatory for anyone calling themselves a social worker and practising in New Zealand to be registered with the Social Workers Registration Board.
Being a registered social worker protects the public and shows the person meets legal standards for qualifications, competence, and fitness to practise. Registration also:
• Builds trust and transparency in the profession
• Strengthens quality assurance and accountability
• Improves safety for the vulnerable
• Lifts professionalism
• Aligns social work with other regulated professions
• Recognises social workers’ value and contribution.
👉 You can check the public register to see whether someone is registered at swrb.govt.nz/search-the-register/
If you’re concerned that someone may be holding themselves out as a social worker but isn’t registered, contact us at aretheyregistered@swrb.govt.nz.
