Hi,

A work colleague has applied to emigrate and had to be registered with the Australian Social Work council as part of her application. She has over 15 years experience as a qualified Social Worker but could only be registered with them as a care assistant. (English Social Work qualification is not recognised)

If you haven’t had any luck since posting this query I would try and visit the web site as it may have some guidance for you to view.

Cheers
