190
Hi, I’m a qualified social worker with 14 years of child protection experience, I’m moving from the UK with my family to the gold coast hopefully in June 2020, having recently received a 190 invite. I’ve spent my whole career more or less as an agency worker in England and wonder the best pathway to a career in the same field in Oz. So I have a few questions if anyone can help.
Is it better to go through an agency or approach local states/private companies direct? if so which agencies are best? And which local government organisations? What are the best paid posts... as I have been a senior social worker for a number of years. What is the average working week in terms of start finish times...etc My skills are currently being assessed so hopefully that will be completed way in advance of me leaving. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks Jack |

Hi, no my skills assessment isn’t complete but it’s actually my wife who has the invite so it’s ok.

jack That said, I cannot help with your original query. Which state are you intending to move to as that may change answers? I would think, as with everything here, you would need to be licensed / registered so there may be some information on state sites :) |
