Newly Qualified Social Worker want to move to Australia
 

Hi everyone.

I am a newly qualified social worker, I have no work experience aside from my placements.
I'm 23 so I have never really worked, just went straight from doing my degree to doing my masters.
I have a 3 year old son and I really want to permanently stay in Australia with him and my partner.
My partner is an Engineering Technologist and he has been in Melbourne on a graduate visa but that expires in 6 months.
He hasn't had any work experience related to his field and so he doesn't have enough points to apply for the 189 PR visa.
I thought I could be the main applicant due to my social work degree. I am doing my Ielts in a few days.
My question is: has anyone (Social Workers) had a positive assessment by the AASW without the 3 years work experience and been granted the 189 visa?

Hi Chrissy, welcome to BE. :wave:

This area is primarily for introductions and welcomes, so the best place for your question will be the Australia forum.

BTW please take a moment to review the BE rules, linked at the right hand end of the yellowish menu bar above.
