ABSTRACT
Focusing on the current global crises of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic, this chapter calls for the social work profession to decolonize itself and society. It centres Wiradyuri (a First Nations) perspectives as a way of positioning the importance of Indigenous knowledges in decolonial processes. The chapter also calls for personhood and legal rights for the environment as an integral part of decolonization and argues that social work values and principles give the profession the mandate to work in solidarity to decolonize its practices whilst also decolonizing global society.
