Abstract
In this article, I share my experiences as a social work educator in an international context where I have had to adapt my approach to cater for the needs of international and domestic students pursuing their careers in social work. While Australia is a destination to many international students and is also multicultural and with indigenous communities, social work education and practice has remained predominantly western and stubbornly resistant to draw on plural epistemologies that inform diverse ways of doing social work.
