Membership with SASW is not equivalent to accreditation as a Registered Social Worker-Provisional (RSW-P) or Registered Social Worker (RSW) Both are separate applications to be made.
While Accreditation is not a prerequisite for becoming a member of SASW, we encourage all Social Workers to pursue Accreditation and apply for SASW membership as well.
For more information about accreditation, please refer to our About Accreditation page.
For further clarifications, please email to membership@sasw.org.sg for Membership related matters or to the Accreditation Secretariat at accreditation@sasw.org.sg for Accreditation related matters.
