If you have friends, you may have questions. What do social workers do?

In fact, social workers mainly help the disadvantaged groups in society and solve social problems with their professional knowledge and skills. Generally, the target of assistance is the elderly, children, women, the disabled and other socially vulnerable groups, mainly working in government systems, judicial departments, health organizations, public welfare organizations, non-governmental organizations, orphanages, nursing homes and psychological counseling institutions. In fact, in Australia, the social welfare security system has been very perfect and mature, which also doomed the social work system to play an indispensable role in Australia. We all know that Australia is an immigrant country and one of the countries with guaranteed social welfare, paying special attention to people's livelihood issues. At present, the aging in Australia is becoming more and more serious, and the welfare of newborns is gradually declining. Moreover, the English level of many parents, investment immigrants and spouse immigrants is not enough to meet daily life. At this time, a large number of social workers who can speak Chinese are needed. In Australia, there is a great demand for social workers, especially those who are bilingual. The data shows that the employment of social workers has been rising in recent years. According to official statistics, by 2022, the number of social workers will reach about 34,700.

Social worker employment has the following five directions: child protection, helping immigrants or refugees, medical social workers, policy advocacy and community development. Moreover, the annual salary of social workers in Australia is roughly 40365438 Australian dollars +02-80965438 Australian dollars +08, and the average annual salary is 56225 Australian dollars. Social work is an unpopular major, which is very scarce in Australia. In addition to worrying about employment, it is also doomed that its position in the immigration list is relatively stable and its immigration score is relatively low.
