@@lifewithchioma Hello sister,what if I hold a BA degree in psychology and sociology from a recognized university in Africa and choose to study master in social work in Africa,will I be eligible to land a social work job in Australia? please
@@lifewithchioma hello sister Thanks for everything but there's one question you're yet to answer to. We'll I'm currently completing my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology and Sociology at the University of Nairobi Kenya,do I stand a chance or any advantage of just coming to Australia for master program in Sociology?or I must undergo a new start ?
Hey dear, thank you so much for all these info. Could you please do a detailed video, of how to apply for pr, from the skill assessments to eoi to accepting the invite for social work. It will be very useful. Thank you
Hey Chimoa, I was wondering if you need work experience after studying Masters in Social work when you apply for the 189 visa. Do you need to apply for post graduate work visa first before applying for 189?
Hello Chioma! Thanks for producing such an informative content. I’m considering to take up a graduate diploma (post graduate)course in my country, may I know if it’s accepted for applying PR in Aus? Thanks ❤
Great video, Chioma. I love your input. I have a bachelor's degree in Education. Will this be enough for me to apply for a master's on social work? Thank you, dear.
Hi Chioma, I came across your vid and thought it was god sent 🥺. I was wondering if the state of thing is still true till this day, both in terms of its strong potential for PR with no work experience requirements and the work opportunities after? I am currently finishing my Masters in the UK, with the future looking dreadful. Since I hope to finally settle down and being able to work to support myself, I am afraid by the time I finish the course, too many people will fill the pathway up? I understand that you can’t say for certain but I hope to hear from someone in the profession. Thanks so much and look forward to your insight ❤.
Hi again ma, thanks so much for your effort in this videos. Relating to a Ms in SW, how many years of work experience does a skill assessment require after graduating, if I happen to come from a non-social work background? Thanks again..
Hi Jessica, as long as you can meet the 65 points cut off, you do not necessarily need work experience after your BSW or MSW to return a positive skills assessment.
Hi,thanks for informative video regarding socialwork i have some questions i am already doing socialwork n running a charity here in india from last 12 yrs but it started with act of passion so didn't studied ABT it now i want to come to Australia for some years so i need to enroll for bachelor diploma or master diploma did my background as a socialworker will make any impact while choosing the diploma
Yes, your experience may be considered for securing enrolment, but note that all schools are different in terms of their enrolment requirements. You will have to check with each school you are interested in.
Nope. Nothing else required except you want to be a mental health accredited social worker, then further training and supervision requirements must be met. See the link www.aasw.asn.au/membership-information/information-for-applying-for-the-accredited-mental-health-social-worker-credential
Hello Chioma!! Your new subscriber from India. I want to know the Universities or Colleges for this Social Worker program. What is the entry requirements? Any Agent that you know whom I can contact?
Hello, after putting everything together, Although I prefer Australia later decided to go for the Canadian express entry as a skilled worker. Because the process for the Australian is quite more expensive for my field "aircraft Maintenance Engineer" getting skills assessment is really hectic in Australia.
You do what's best for you. I understand that Australia' s immigration is not as flexible as Canada right now. You still have my best wishes in your chosen path. 😊
Hi Chioma. I found your topic interesting. I am a social work graduate and Im a practicing social worker here in the Philippines. I've been in this job for 23 years already. I just want to ask for your advise, what will I do to become a social worker in Australia? Is there an age requirement to become one?
Hi Chioma, i have a question. I recently gave IELTS exam and came to know that I need to score 7 in each module in only two sittings. However, on their skills assessment form, it also says that applicants can take the IELTS exam as many times as they want. It's contradicting information. Could you please help and provide the correct information. I appreciate it. Thank you!
From my interactions with other people, my understanding is that you can only combine results from two consecutive sittings to meet the minimum band scores, but you can still sit the exam multiple times. I hope that makes sense
Hello Chioma im a new subscriber been watching your videos for years i have a Bsc. in Sociology which has similar courses with social worker can i use it to apply for jobs even though i have no working experience as i own my own business
Hi, you can check out the AASW requirements for a migration skills assessment to apply for PR with your qualifications and experience. I left a link in the description of this video.
I got 7.5 overall in ielts but master of social require 7 each in every module but I have 6.5 in writing so can I get masters of social work in Australia and I am already studying in masters of international relations and I am changing my course to social work
Check with the school directly to see if a waiver may apply in your case. Otherwise maybe consider a course accredited by ACWA which is relevant to the occupations assessed by ACWA for PR.
thank you so much for this wonderful video. I'm curious about the licensing though a I have read you need to be licensed to the AASW to get PR? is this not true? thank you!
You don't need to be licensed for PR, rather you need to demonstrate eligibility for membership and this is done by showing relevant SW qualifications (and experience if applicable)
Hello Lady Chioma. Thank you for this informative piece. I'm interested in a Masters in Social Work in an Australian University. I have experience in social work on Nigeria How can you assist please
Hello there Chioma! Are there any other languages like french and mandarin that put graduates of social work one step ahead of everyone in the hiring process in Australia ? What I mean to ask is are there such languages that can profit our career as a social worker in AUS ?
Hello Chioma! Thank you so much for the lovely videos as always! Love all of them so much! 💫 I was also curious if its possible to work part-time so that I can pay for living expenses while studying MSW in Australia 🇦🇺 Does the study load (especially fieldwork) make it quite difficult?
Hi Chioma, I just came across your videos, they are amazing. I'm from Nigeria, I want to do MSW in Australia. Please I want to know if I can do the bridging course online, how much it cost, and the duration. Thanks
Hello I am also thinking about going ACAP for masters in social work (qualifying)....how is future prospects and will we get job as social worker after our graduation??
Sister, I am bachelor of education in my own country, can I take Master of social worker in Aussy in term of good pathway to Parmanen resident in Australia?
Hi, my name is Toritse. I live and work in Abuja, Nigeria. I'm very passionate about helping people.. so I've thinking of quitting my job and going for a master's degree program in Counselling and Psychotherapy..but like MSc. Social Work, I'm not sure if Counselling & Psychotherapy will make room for a variety of visa options /opportunities...Please I also like to know if licensure is required for practicing Counselling in Australia . I really hope to hear from you soon🤞 And just so you know, you are impacting alot of lives positively, more than you can imagine🙂
Oh! I forgot to mention that my ultimate goal is to permanently reside with my 18 month old son while practicing Counselling and Psychotherapy in Australia ..through schooling
Hi thanks for creating the video! I have three questions. 1. With social work certificate/diploma would it be possible to find a visa sponsoring visa? 2. What exactly is the difference between certificate and diploma? 3. Is the demand huge in Sydney?
Hi, first yes it's possible but not the easiest option. A certificate is a lower qualification to a diploma but neither will qualify you as a social worker unfortunately. Thirdly, social work is in demand Australia wide
Hello ma'am , If I go for the bridging course and complete 6-12 months then would I have to go back in my country and then apply again for masters and then come back for master in social work degree ??? please help !
Hello, my sister just finished a bachelors in social science and would like to study another bachelors in social instead going for masters, do you think it’s a good idea
Pls chioma , I had my degree in social work here in Nigeria, can I get a work in Australia with my degree while I do master. How do I go about that pls , married
If your social work degree from Nigeria had a work placement component totalling at least 980 hours, and you have relevant work experience, you can try applying for PR directly from Nigeria. But, the study option looks promising for you with your background.
@@lifewithchioma thank you for your reply,I presently work in a government hospital as a medical Social worker/mental health , pls can we talk privately, I'm so much interested and I need help.
Hello Chioma. I do similar work in Uk but no qualifications in social work which is what I would like to do. I’m 56 years old and I don’t think I could do this course at my age. Are you allowed to work while on a course? Thank you for the wonderful information xx
You can work while you study, but your pre qualifying experience will not count toward migration as a social worker. Also, at 56, you can't access the skilled migration visas
You will have to check with the school in Australia. You can email them for more information. Things have changed in recent times and different schools have different entry requirements.
Hello! May I ask regarding taking ACWA and ASSW. I am a registered medical social worker in the Philippines, I just wonder if I am going to take ACWA for accrediation for migration to Victoria? I am weighing between ACWA and ASSW, in terms of fees and requirements. Thanks!
pls Chioma the visa officer will suspect fraud, you can’t be coming from an engineering background,then want to study social work ,it’s a red flag 🚩 for the visa officer
@@lifewithchioma I wanted an MBA program,my agent said I should go for engineering courses since I came from engineering background,so that the visa officer will grant me VISA.. I didn’t know GTE plays more factor
Hello chioma, thank you for this information, please I have a Question about the Bridging course, is it a course to be studied here in Nigeria or a Coutto be studied abroad??
You can study it anywhere, however the challenge with coming to Australia to study a diploma is the high visa rejection rate for diplomas especially for applicants from Nigeria
Good evening ma'am please I am interested but don't know how to go about it i am a social worker here in Nigeria i studied Public Administration and i would like to migrate through the education route with my masters degree please how do i go about it . will be glad if you yo can help out
You must have a social work specific qualification in addition to your work experience to meet eligibility requirements for a migration skills assessment and applying for PR. Otherwise, maybe you should consider studying.
May I ask what is difference between studying in University of Melb and University of Queensland（from career prospect）？ I really appreciate your answer.
Hello Xiong, unfortunately, I do not know how schools compare in terms of graduate employability. My guess is, the difference will not be significant. As long as you bring the necessary skills to the job, employers are not too fussed about which Australian university you got your degree.
