Farah Naz – South Australia

Farah, 45, arrived from Pakistan in November 2013. Despite her teaching experience, her qualifications weren’t recognised in Australia.  So, until 2021, Farah invested her years in looking after her family and raising her three children. 

On a visit to the Salvation Army, Farah was recommended to the Morella Community Centre, where she was encouraged to participate in their gatherings and activities. Farah ended up enrolling in the Pathways to Children’s Services course, which she completed in December 2021. 

In March 2022, Farah undertook a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care, before starting in 2023 as a Home Interaction Program for Parents and Youngsters (HIPPY) tutor with Novita. Currently, Farah is continuing her learning journey while working and is now pursuing a Diploma in Education Support. Her goal is to secure a position in a school as an assessment officer.
