South Australian Government schools in the National Student Wellbeing Program (NSWP) can choose either a Pastoral Care Worker (PCW) or a Student Wellbeing Support Officer (SWSO) to deliver this program in their school.
The school can engage either of these roles through one of the approved service providers listed on this page.
Schools also have the option to appoint their own SWSO (staff login required). This could be one of their existing staff or a new staff member.
About the program
The NSWP is a funded program that supports schools to promote the wellbeing of their students. It's not a religious program and does not provide religious instruction or religious counselling to students.
