Thanks for your post Wellers and Whitehead I've looked into the AASW, seems like a lengthy process and mainly for those that are looking to emigrate. I have been in touch with a few support work orgs and they say that they hire casual workers so I guess I can just look into that. As you say, SW is mainly for those of perm residency etc. It's just the usual worry of not being able to find work, but from reading posts there are lots of positive stories so fingers crossed x x

Think im gonna head to Melbourne as my sister has friends out there so hopefully they'll help me out a little. Also planning to head out end of Oct/early Nov. Im sure once I make some sort of plan i'll be fine goodluck x x

Hi All, I had planned to travel to Oz on a WHV with my sister in oct/nov 2013, however there has been a change of circumstances and now my sister can't come! I have been working really hard and looking forward to this so it seems such a shame to give it all up, but I have no idea where to start! I am 25 years old and qualified with an MA Social Work last July. So I am hoping that I can use my experience out in Oz, does anyone know if social care jobs are easy to come by? Initially I was travelling into Melbourne as my sister has friends there but seen as Im now travelling alone, I guess I could go anywhere, where would people recommend at that time of year? I will have approx. £3000 to take with me so will need to find work pretty quickly to last haha. Also, any advice on flights, places to stay will be welcomed. I have until January to travel as my visa will run out by then, so a plan of action is needed. Anyone in a similar situation, please get in touch, we can buddy together and make this work...I really don't wanna give up now. Thanks Kaz x

hi, I'm in a similar situation and now sooo unsure about what to do! my sister has backed out due to health and financial reasons yet im working really hard and saving so it seems a shame for me to give up now. But I have no idea where to start and im scared of travelling alone. So yeah, any advice/tips would be fab. Cheers Kaz x

Hey everyone, New to this and looking for advice n generally just being nosey! I'm planning on going to Oz in October with a WHV, first stop Melbourne! Travelling with my big sister who has visited Oz before, I haven't! I'm currently working as a Support Worker, and also recently qualified as a Social Worker. I'm hoping job prospects will be good I've heard Melbs is pretty expensive! Anyways, free to chat to anyone who's got any stories to tell. Cheers Kaz x
