Go for back office support jobs either analyst type work or admin based regardless of industry. As for thrive & learning opportunities, haha if got is bonus, don't have life goes on lah.

2. Pursue a part-time degree @ Murdoch (if yes, which course? from HR / Business / Marketing (reserved individual, weak in numbers/math related mods)
You already have a degree, no point wasting time buying another soft skill generic degree, waste of time & money.

3. Attend short courses at SSI (Social service institute) - I've set sights on some courses (To value-add by acquiring new skills & for personal upgrading)
Unless you wanna work in social service, dun waste time on these things. A normal employer in pte sector won't care about such 'CCA'.

4. For student care managerial roles, what're the options I can take with a psych deg?
I dunno, student care sounds like just another typical admin based corporate work. As per advice #1, just apply if you see it. Law of large numbers.

As for managerial role, haha I predict you will struggle even to get normal corporate exec work, now is not the time to fantasize about becoming a manager.
