Abstract
The social work experiences of COVID are differentially experienced within and between countries. This chapter is a co-production that draws on narratives by social work academics and social work practitioners in India and Australia, which highlight inequities. From the voices of co-producers, four thematic areas that arose are discussed: People and the State: Migrants, Refugees, and Citizens; Women, Mobility, and Violence; Digital Divide: Access to Communities and Social Work Practice; and Role of Social Workers: Relief and Systemic Interventions. The rich narratives highlight the expertise of social workers as complementary to the dominant reliance on health professional interventions.
