Why Join Us?

Starting your Social Work career is about more than finding your first role — it’s about finding the right environment to learn, grow and build confidence in your practice. At CART, you’ll be supported by experienced clinicians while gaining exposure to a diverse range of clients, health conditions and psychosocial presentations.

You’ll have the opportunity to develop your assessment, intervention and care coordination skills, learn from a broad multidisciplinary team and see the difference your work can make in helping people remain independent and connected to their communities.

You’ll also have access to:

• Regular professional supervision and support
• Ongoing education and professional development
• Exposure to a broad range of community-based clinical experiences
• Opportunities to build your confidence and capability as a Social Worker
• Career pathways across Monash Health’s extensive Social Work service
• Salary packaging and employee wellbeing benefits

If you’re looking for a supportive place to begin or continue building your Social Work career, we’d love to hear from you.
