About Annie Venville
Associate Professor Annie Venville is Head of Social Work at Victoria University. She is an experienced social work practitioner, academic, educator and researcher. Prior to her first continuing academic appointment in 2008 (La Trobe University) Annie had extensive social work experience in the government, non-government, health, and education sectors. Her commitment to equity, structural change and social justice underpin her approach to teaching and research.
Collaboration and partnership are hallmarks of Annie's work. She has secured approximately $230,000 in external funding from government and industry groups such as the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER); Department of Health, Victoria; Gateway Community Health; National Association of Field Education Administrators and St Vincent’s Health Network, Sydney. Funding has related to projects investigating clinical governance, the creation of inclusive educational environments and inter-professional practice.
Annie's two NCVER-funded research projects 'Supporting tertiary students with disabilities: Individualised and institution-level approaches in practice' and 'Unfinished business: student perspectives on disclosure of mental illness and success in VET' have attracted substantial interest as evidenced by invitations to address disability practitioners, educators and policy makers. Since 2010 Annie has presented at 10 national and international conferences, published 16 peer reviewed papers and two commissioned research reports.
Annie joined Victoria University in 2018 whereupon she was awarded a research fellowship with the Institute for Health and Sport, one of two Flagship Research Institutes in Victoria University. Annie has substantial expertise in qualitative research methods with much of her research focused on hearing the voices of those underrepresented in the research literature. She has a proven track record in conducting applied and qualitative research in wide ranging settings and disseminating results in a timely manner.

Other supervision of research students
Annie Venville currently mentors and supervises one PhD student (La Trobe University) who is on track for timely completion in 2019. This PhD student is exploring a socially situated understanding of self-management support for people living with a chronic condition. This research examines how interactions between people with chronic conditions and their health professionals shape goals for self-management.
Teaching activities & experience
Annie is Course Chair and Head of Social Work at Victoria University. In this role she is responsible for the academic quality and integrity of the Bachelor of Social Work program. In addition to providing academic leadership and course oversight, Annie is currently Unit Coordinator for ASW3103 Social Work Practice: Legal Context. This unit introduces students to the complex intersection of social work practice and the law. In her first year at VU Annie coordinated and taught ASW3101 Skills for Social Work Direct Practice.
Prior to joining Victoria University Annie held a senior position in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Australian Catholic University (Melbourne). Although teaching was not a requirement of her role she co-taught HLSC120 Society, Culture and Health in Rome in January 2016, and was lecturer in charge of an online postgraduate unit HSLC609 Facilitating Learning in Clinical Settings.
During her time with La Trobe University Annie developed curriculum, lectured, tutored and led teams of teachers (support tutors and associated staff) in 14 subjects across all year levels. The major focus of her undergraduate teaching practice was in three major areas: clinical and professional education (SWP5PPA, SWP5PPB, SWP5PPC and SWP5PPD); advanced casework and skills practice (SWP5APC); and mental health (SWP4FPA and SWP5FPC). Annie was also the cross-campus subject coordinator for all four professional practice education subjects; the Melbourne instance co-ordinator for SWP5APC; and lecturer in the remaining two other subjects.
Annie's commitment to flexible and innovative blended-learning activities and authentic assessments is a feature of all of her subjects.
