A Human service practitioner may organize as well as lead group activities, counseltheir clients through crisis intervention, manage a food bank or provide emergency services.Hence, one can say that a job of human service practitioner is of highly diversified nature.Forinstance, a human service practitioner may make arrangements for transportation and escorts foran individual whereas for another they may provide emotional support.

Similar to other health and care organisations and practitioners, human service domainalso binds its professionals to follow a certain set of policies so as to ensure that there is no clientgroup that remains evasive of any benefit or service they are entitled to get. These policies aremainly regulated by Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) which outlines a numberof practices standards for such professionals (AASW Practice Guidelines, 2019). The AASWdefines social work as “a practice-based profession and an academic discipline” which aims topromote social change and development through empowerment as well as liberation of people.With a view to achieve this, the practice standards outlined by the national organisation includethe expectation of service demanded of a social worker by the people they serve. Such standardsalso act as a guiding light for the practitioners to ensure that they fulfil their duties in aresponsible, cohesive and timely manner. For this purpose, the human service workers arerequired to follow a Code of Ethics which identifies values and ethics as well as act as a standardto regulate work conduct and accountability (AASW Practice Standards, 2019). This Code ofEthics is required to be followed by the universal audience. It requires the workers to respectpeople, provide social justice and maintain professional integrity.1
