Hi I am in Sydney on a Permanent Residency . I would like to work in the child care field. I have a Masters in Social work from overseas which has been accredited and recognized by AASW. I just completed my Certificate 3 / first aid etc courses in child care as well. I do have prior overseas experience working with children in a nursery school as well as creche from ages 10 months - 6 yrs. What more would I need to get into the industry ?
Would really appreciate some help. Thanks

You will need a working with children's check:

This is a background check done on you to confirm you are legally able to work with children.

Once you have completed this, it sounds to me like you have everything in order... You can probably start applying for cert 3 jobs...

Good luck!
