Interstate Licensure Compact

NASW-Alaska is dedicated to understanding where social workers in Alaska stand on the Interstate Licensure Compact and how we can improve Social Action on behalf social workers and the communities in the state we serve. This short 9-question membership survey will allow you to share your insight with us and inform the position NASW-AK will take on the interstate compact in the upcoming legislative session.

The Social Work Licensure Compact is a legal contract between states and territories that allows social workers to practice in all member states. The compact's goal is to:

  • Eliminate barriers to practice and client care
  • Increase access to care, especially in underserved areas
  • Enhance a state's ability to protect public safety
  • Increase the efficiency of becoming licensed across state/territory lines
