Or perhaps you are ready for a career change and want to step into social work.

Whatever your background, Federation University prepares you to work across human and community services in government bodies, non-government organisations, community and health services and more.

You'll be exposed to challenging real-life situations through 140 days during your studies in social work settings, being mentored by experienced professionals in the field. 

Then, once you graduate, you can become a qualified social worker, take up management positions or work in national or international policy development.
