All your social work questions in one video! I hope you enjoy this one and leave me any more questions you may have here in the comments section or send an email (link in description)
Thanks, Chioma....my questions were answered, very much appreciated. Looking forward to studying social works in Australia. Please when you have time, kindly consider doing a video on which city / province is best for social workers to easily gain a permanent residence status
Hi Chioma, Thanks for answering my questions. I already was accepted at USC on the Gold coast, I have a big process ahead: 1. 10 weeks of academic English 2. study four social units before the master 3. the Master I will be watching your videos in the whole process. Thank you
I noticed that on the AASW website, there are some MSW Social Work programs in some universities that are considered "Partially Accredited" by the accreditation body. Is it advisable to study a partially Accredited MSW Social Work program in those Australian universities?
Hi Obinna, The partial accreditation is for new Social Work programs yet to graduate their first cohort of students. Once the first batch graduates successfully, they will ve fully accredited. Yes, you can still study at those schools. The provisional status will not affect your eligibility for membership in the AASW. In any case they would have their first set if graduates before you finish anyway
Im a new subscriber and graudated BS Pharmacy in my home country. I plan to get Social Work course in Australia because of my work experiences i found that i am more into people connection and empathy. 1. Can you suggest a good accredited school in Melbourne, that cater Diploma in Social Work? I only have small amount of money to enroll... 2. After Diploma in Social Work, will i be able to find work in the field, while studying Bachelor in Social work ? 3. What are the needs and possibilities to PR with Social Worker profession? Thank you so much !💕💕💕
Hello! I am unfamiliar with diploma courses in Social work and therefore cannot recommend any school. The entry level qualification for Social work in Australia which will qualify you for PR and membership into the AASW is either a Bachelor of Social Work or a Masters of Social work, not a diploma. You can search accredited social work courses here www.aasw.asn.au/careers-study/accredited-courses. Please watch the videos in my Social work playlist for more relevant information.

@@lifewithchioma thank you for this clarification. I really thought both courses besides the licensing are similar. I also want to ask: Can a Social worker or graduate be eminently qualified to work as an Aged Care and disability support employee?
@@lifewithchioma Cool! I also have a question as im aware most placements are 1000 hours and split into two (500hours) for a semester espescially as a grad. Is this done only during the semester and how many days did you have to attend placement every week and for how long? Thanks
Hi Chioma While we apply for AASW registration if there is any deficit like long career break (Nearly 8 yrs of break) what would be the compensatory program they ask for. Currently I'm doing Cert 4 in Family,Youth and Child Intervention.Will that be helpful for the registration?
Hi chioma, I have diploma in social services after bachelor degree. now i'm working in Palliative care. I have 10 years experience in this field in India. Have any chances to migrate to Australia.
@@lifewithchioma is it advisable to study Social Work programs that are regarded as partially Accredited by the AASW body? Also, did your write several exams or a single licensing exam to be licensed as a social worker by AASW?
Hi Chioma, so grateful for the videos. Could you please help me with finding the universities which do not require bachelors in social work? As I have my bachelors in life sciences. I also searched for ACAP but even for the qualifying masters it says that some experience in social work is required. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.
Hi Shreya, thanks for watching. I wish I had the information you are after but I am not an education agent and wouldn't know the entry requirements to several schools. I am just learning that ACAP has become stricter in their entry criteria. The only resource I can point you to is www.aasw.asn.au/careers-study/accredited-courses. Thanks again for stopping by.
Hi ma'am This is Avinash From Hyderabad, India I was completed BSW and MSW India. Now I'm planning for one more PG social work in australia My question is is it worthful studying social work in australia And we get get jobs easily over there or not??
Hi Avinash, yes, Social Work has a great employment outlook in Australia and it is reflected in how stable it has been in the skilled migration program over the years. It is even listed as a Priority Skill at the moment which means your visa can be processed faster if you find a sponsoring employer in Australia. But beyond that, it appears that you have great prospects for PR through the skilled migration visas since you already have a BSW and MSW. Have you considered these options, instead of spending thousands studying again?
Hello chioma, I am and Indian inhabitant and I have graduate in law [LLB] from India, can I please know am I eligible to get admission I MSW[Q], and how my degree in law would benefit me in field of social work. Thank you , and you are doing a very good job by sharing such valuable information.
Hi @pratik12345679 , I am from Kenya, I read your comment and realized we are in the same boat, I also hold an LLB and I am interested in MSW ,I just wanted to find out whether you succeeded and how you went about it? Thank you.

@@lifewithchioma Thank you so much Chioma ! Will check on this. God Bless !!
@@lifewithchioma Another concern, is Community Service and Social Work course the same?
@@missneaarchi9649 Not the same but there are significant overlaps between the two in certain areas.
@@lifewithchioma thank you for this clarification. I really thought both courses besides the licensing are similar. I also want to ask: Can a Social worker or graduate be eminently qualified to work as an Aged Care and disability support employee?
Good job ma'am.
Ma, as an undergraduate, does your school offer social worker for WAEC holders!
Yes, your WAEC can be considered for undergraduate enrolment
Hi Chioma just curious do you work part time or full time as a social worker?
Full time
@@lifewithchioma Cool! I also have a question as im aware most placements are 1000 hours and split into two (500hours) for a semester espescially as a grad. Is this done only during the semester and how many days did you have to attend placement every week and for how long? Thanks

I am not sure how you can address gaps, but I reckon you will have to give a reasonable explanation for the gap - just my opinion and I may be wrong.
Hi Chioma, I'm interested
Hi Chioma, im actually doing MBA in Aus. Would it be possible for me to shift to MSWQ?
Hi Ina, I suppose you could. You may just have extra requirements to fulfil. Please check with the school you're interested in.
Hi chioma, I have diploma in social services after bachelor degree. now i'm working in Palliative care. I have 10 years experience in this field in India. Have any chances to migrate to Australia.
Hi, Am new to your channel, kindly help with this question. Are all social work offering Universities licensed?
Hi Adesua, check out this link for all accredited social work courses in Australia www.aasw.asn.au/careers-study/accredited-courses
@@lifewithchioma is it advisable to study Social Work programs that are regarded as partially Accredited by the AASW body?
Also, did your write several exams or a single licensing exam to be licensed as a social worker by AASW?
@@CEOpaschal No, you don't write a separate licensing exam in Australia. Your BSW or MSW from an accredited course is sufficient.
👌
