Supporting UK & Irish Social Workers moving to Australia

Relocating to Australia as a social worker involves more than just securing a job — it requires understanding a new system, different expectations, and navigating professional requirements with confidence.

I offer structured consultation sessions designed specifically for social workers from the UK and Ireland who are planning to transition into practice in Australia.

These sessions provide practical, experience-based guidance to help you feel informed, prepared, and clear on your next steps.

Who This Is For

This service is suited to:

  • Qualified social workers in the UK or Ireland considering a move to Australia

  • Practitioners who want clarity on how social work differs in the Australian context

  • Those preparing for the AASW skills assessment

  • Social workers wanting to feel more confident before making the transition

What We Cover

Sessions are tailored to your stage of the process, but may include:

  • Understanding the Australian social work landscape

  • Differences between UK/Ireland and Australian practice

  • Preparing for the AASW skills assessment

  • Application guidance and structuring your documentation

  • Interview preparation and expectations

  • Navigating early career practice in Australia

  • Practical insights into frontline roles, particularly child protection

These sessions are designed to give you clarity, direction, and realistic expectations of the transition.

AASW Skills Assessment Support

Targeted support is available to assist with:

  • Understanding assessment requirements

  • Structuring your application

  • Strengthening how you present your experience

  • Preparing for potential interview processes

This support is based on direct experience successfully completing the AASW skills assessment and transitioning into practice in Australia.

How It Works

  • Sessions are delivered online

  • 1:1 tailored consultations

  • Flexible booking based on your needs and stage of planning

Relocating internationally is a significant step. Having the right information and support can make the process clearer, more manageable, and more confident.
