Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing)

Course Code CHC33021
Build the practical, person-centred care skills to support older people to live well.

Course Overview

This qualification reflects the role of workers in the community and/or residential setting who follow an individualised plan to provide person-centred support to people who may require support due to ageing, disability or some other reason.

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. To achieve this qualification students must have completed at least 120 hours of direct support work at a care facility.
