Certificate III In Individual Support (Disability)

Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)

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 (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 7 months, our course will prepare you for working under supervision in a disability support service, Home and Community care or with a diverse group of clients.

This qualification reflects the role of individuals in disability support services and home and community care services 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.
