Social work external accrediting bodies are moving towards competency-based models that require educational providers to demonstrate that students meet specific competencies at graduation. It is expected that all social work students at accredited social work programs in Australia will have acquired specific graduate attributes and demonstrated the associated learning outcomes by the completion of their degree. The purpose of this study was to investigate the experiences and benefits of using an ePortfolio with Master of Social Work students (n = 43) to critically reflect on their own learning and demonstrate how they met the Australian Association of Social Work graduate attributes necessary for accreditation. The findings revealed that students’ perceived level of readiness for practice and identity as a professional social worker increased with the successful completion of the ePortfolio. The study also identified barriers and enablers in implementing the ePortfolio as an assessment piece to document overall program learning outcomes. The conclusion discusses how ePortfolios are a viable assessment tool in the online and blended learning space that has benefit for both the student and the program in demonstrating learning outcomes and compliance with accreditation graduate standards.

Recovery-oriented practice is the dominant framework for mental health services in Australia. However, evidence demonstrating recovery processes outside public services is scant. This study explores how key processes from the Connectedness, Hope, Identity, Meaning, and Empowerment (CHIME) personal recovery conceptual framework related to service-user experiences of a rural mental health service during the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative telephone or video-conference interviews were conducted with 19 service users. Deductive and inductive data analysis was employed, applying the CHIME framework as a predetermined organisational structure. Themes were constructed according to the CHIME framework categories. The data reflected all five categories; connectedness and empowerment were salient. Participants’ service-delivery experiences could either enhance or hinder connectedness, the cultivation of hope, a positive identity, meaning in life, and empowerment. Nonclinical aspects of their experience were viewed as an extension of treatment. Opportunities exist for mental health practitioners to intentionally prioritise and strengthen recovery-oriented practice. Trauma-informed approaches are consistent with and complement personal recovery principles. Accountability structures are needed to monitor recovery-oriented practice in mental health settings. Family-focused interventions also need strengthening to build connectedness, meaning, and hope.
