Hi, I am considering going to Austrailia and getting a working holiday visa. I am a qualified social care worker with almost 5 years of experience; do I have any chance of getting a job in that area?, or am I best look for pub work, etc.? Any advice is appreciated

Social worker is on the list, so there is a chance.

6 month maximum employment period on a Working Holiday Visa, so it is not incredibly likely, but longer term prospects do exist.

Think the OP is a social carer, the skills list has social worker, there is a big difference between the both I think
