Certificate III in Individual Support
Overview
See yourself as empathetic, patient and kind? Our Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing and Disability) could be the qualification that helps you thrive. Learn core skills to deliver quality support in a safe, simulated environment before undertaking practical placement in an Aged Care setting. Graduates can expect to work with a diverse group of clients, typically elderly people or those living with a disability, by providing support to be more independent to participate in community and/or recreational activities. Furthermore you will be exposed to working a variety of health care professionals to support and provide care in either residential, community or health care.
As part of this course you will need to undertake a minimum of 120 hours of work placement. This will be sourced by Swinburne.
