Kandie Allen-Kelly, CEO of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW), is an Ambassador for National Families Week 2009, to be held from 10-16 May.
Each year, National Families Week celebrates and highlights the critical role of families in Australian society and coincides with the UN International Day of Families on May 15, with hundreds of local events to be held around the country.
This year's theme is 'Celebrate how everyone makes a difference'.
Allen-Kelly said, "Social workers provide vital services to families in so many ways. They work with low-income and disadvantaged families, and provide assistance to families at time of crisis and stress. It's an honour to represent their work as an Ambassador for National Families Week."
National Families Week is run by Australia's peak independent not-for-profit organisation, Families Australia, on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.
