Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing)

Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)

When you complete the Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing) you will be ready to start a rewarding career providing direct care to clients in residential, home and community settings.

Aged Care Workers provide personal, physical and emotional support to older people who require assistance with daily living. When you provide support to older people you are able to make a tremendous difference to their quality of life and achieve real personal satisfaction through your work. Aged care work is rewarding in itself and provides the opportunity to meet a wide variety of older people.

There are two different industry placement options available to those studying the Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing). At Mt Lawley campus you will learn through class work, simulation and early immersion into the work place. To support this innovative model we have partnered with some of the leading aged care providers. This ensures that you have an opportunity for an enriched learning experience through longer exposure to an organisation and its residents.
