Christina Williams has been a Social Work Practitioner for over 18 years. She has both domestic and international experience in the areas of child protection, hospital social work, aged care, mental health, disability and clinical social work. Christina managed a community mental health program for a large not for profit organisation in Australia for 12 years and established their NDIS mental health support coordination program. Over the years Christina fostered relationship development within the community and strongly believes in collaboration and networking. In her role as program manager, she supervised and trained social workers and social work students in the work place and developed a keen interest in equipping and training evolving social workers.  

Christina started her academic career with Excelsia College in October 2022 as Social Work Lecturer and Field Education Coordinator. Having strong and varied practice experience, she is excited to support students with developing their social work skills by preparing for and completing their field placements.

Christina is passionate about social justice, providing opportunities for growth both in individuals and communities and creating environments where individuals can live a fulfilled and meaningful life. She is hoping to pass this passion on to social work students and supporting them in becoming social work practitioners who will make a positive impact in the lives of those who they will support in future.
