About

Aaron Hockaday


As a social worker, I care deeply about others in the profession and am passionate about offering support in the supervision space. I see supervision as a dedicated place to critically reflect, share burdens and successes and work towards being our best selves as practitioners so we can continue to do the work in a rewarding yet challenging sector.

With 7 years of experience working in housing and homelessness I have been exposed to different systemic issues, power imbalances, and had to think creatively regarding support while maintaining boundaries around my own self-care and capacity. Together, we might explore complex cases, case management skills, boundaries or reflect on the personal impacts of your work.

You can expect collaboration, humor, and a dynamic space. I will meet you where you are in your professional journey and support needs.

Centre Self Collective values the lived experience and contributions of people from all cultures, genders, sexualities, bodies, spiritualities, ages, abilities and backgrounds. We are committed to cultivating inclusive environments and are dedicated to building a sustainable and an environmentally aware practice. 

Acknowledgement and Commitment to First Nations Justice. Centre Self Collective acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live, work, and offer care. We recognise their deep and enduring connection to land, waters, skies, and community - and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. We honour the wisdom, strength, and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across all communities. As social workers and mental health practitioners, we hold a deep awareness of the systemic harm our profession has contributed to, including the forced removal of children, policies of assimilation, and the ongoing disruption of families, cultures, and Country. These injustices continue to reverberate through intergenerational trauma and ongoing structural inequities. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. Centre Self Collective stands in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We wholeheartedly support the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the journey toward Treaty in Victoria, and the principle of Aboriginal self-determination.
