About this course

Learn the Tools of the Trade

If you have a passion for caring for people, want to work in one of the fastest growing industries in Australia, or simply want to learn how to care for older people or people living with a disability, our Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing and Disability) (CHC33021) course will help you achieve your goals.

We understand your passion for helping others. That's why we've created a course that supports and fosters your enthusiasm.

Caring for individuals requires you to be knowledgeable within a wide range of specialised areas. In 8 months, our course will prepare you for working under supervision in an Aged Care facility, Home and Community care or with a diverse group of clients.

This qualification reflects the role of individuals in the community, home or residential care setting who work under supervision and delegation as a part of a multi-disciplinary team, following an individualised plan to provide person-centred support to people who may require support due to ageing, disability or some other reason.

These individuals take responsibility for their own outputs within the scope of their job role and delegation. Workers have a range of factual, technical and procedural knowledge, as well as some theoretical knowledge of the concepts and practices required to provide person-centred support.

Here are just a few things you will learn:

  • Promoting independence and wellbeing
  • Maintaining clients personal care
  • Support people with dementia
  • Palliative care services
  • Understanding Client needs
