The Social Work Department of The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Adelaide, South Australia, developed a social work service for women presenting for elective termination of pregnancy. They used a high social risk identification and screening process and developed a protocol describing essential elements of the clinical social work practice. Program development was practice-based and empirical, using practice experience and drawing from relevant literature.
