Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability)
Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)Macarthur Community College is offering this opportunity to either update your skills and knowledge or for new entrants into care roles especially in the disability industry. This qualification will provide an entry level qualification into the care industry. The COVID-19 pandemic has placed an unprecedented strain on the care support workforce, impacting a range of job roles in those sectors. There is demand for rapid upskilling of a 'surge' workforce to fill care assistant, disability support and client assistant roles.
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.
