To qualify for the individual membership category with CASW you must have a degree from a university program accredited by the Canadian Association for Social Work Education or a degree which is recognized by the provincial social work regulatory authority for the purpose of registration as a social worker (RSW). CASW individual memberships are available only to individuals living and working in provinces that do not have a Partner Organization in the CASW Federation (Québec).
Due to the reunification of the Ontario Association of Social Workers with CASW, effective April 1, 2021 CASW will cease offering direct individual affiliate memberships to Ontario social workers. For more information, see our Questions & Answers page.
