Hello,thanks for your time always,please I noticed that masters in social work in western Sydney university has provisional accreditation instead of full accreditation from AASW,I want to know the implication of this on a student of this program. Thanks

I would advise you to change to social work degree for better job prospects and also for eligibility to become a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers. Both degrees are closely related tho, and you can still get social work jobs with your social science degree but it's better to be on the safer side. Be sure to choose accredited degrees to avoid wasting your $$$.

AUD 41,000 is less than the entry level salary for Social Workers in Sydney. It's a great career path and you can make heaps of money if you're smart. I'm currently doing Youth Work (stopped doing disability a long time ago) which related to Social Work, some of my colleagues easily make AUD 100,000 per year (not managerial level) with no stress. Yeah I know, the salaries in Sydney are awesome...one of the reasons it's the best city to be right now!!!

I haven't been following the visa application timeline but things have definitely changed from the time I applied. DIBP is taking a lot longer now to process visas due to the increase in the number of applications from Nigeria, and they're also running more checks to ascertain genuine students.

I know the wait is hard on the applicants, I understand. But if you put in a decent application and your docs are real, hang in there, your visa will come through. If your application is more than 4 weeks, I would recommend sending them a polite email asking for an update on your application, quoting your full name, DOB, passport number, application number and your orientation date. I did this when my application was 2 weeks old and they responded the next day.

Goodluck to all the visa applicants, this country is worth the wait!

If the course you've accepted is not on the SOL. No worries. See your Faculty student's adviser when you land and change to a course that is on the SOL on or before the first week of resumption. They will do it for you. It's not advisable to do a course that's not on the SOL unless you are coming here to study and study alone.

Thanks for the reply but the issue is I am a lawyer here,I have checked the Sol list and I can't find a course that I can change to on the Sol list,and I don't want to study alone,pls any suggestions...
