In this episode I speak with Madison, currently undertaking her third year of a Bachelor of Social Work at The University of Sydney. Madison works for an Employment Service Provider contracted by the Department of Human Services and has experience in aged care in-home support work under the Commonwealth Home Support Programme, and disability support work with TAFE NSW. Her goal is to eventually work in migrant resettlement, or in a hospital.
