Welcome to Common Ground – your space to connect, grow, and belong throughout your social work journey at UNE. Whether you're studying from a remote community, a regional town, or a major city, Common Ground brings us together as a community of learners. This is where you'll find peer support, share insights, access resources, and reflect on the challenges and rewards of social work practice. We recognise that you bring both lived and learned experience to this space, and both are valued here. Common Ground is designed to foster connection, reduce isolation, and create opportunities for collaboration and critical thinking. We encourage you to engage authentically, support your peers, and make this space your own. Your voice matters, your experiences count, and you belong here.
