In this episode I speak with Mat, a Social Worker who was born and raised on Darkinjung country in the Central Coast of NSW. Mat has a history of working in not-for-profit organisations that support children and families and was formerly the operations manager of Central Coast Family Support Services. Mat hopes that this conversation about his social work journey and experience helps others who are interested in this line of work.
