The Government's pay boost to community social workers has been labelled a "game changer".

Almost 4,600 community social workers will now receive pay that is on par with Oranga Tamariki social workers.

Association of Social Workers Chief Executive, Braden Clark, says their pay is going to increase between $20-30,000.

He told Mike Hosking it'll make a huge difference in keeping social workers from switching to Oranga Tamariki.
