Certificate III in Individual Support

Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)

Become an aged care/support worker, and learn the skills to provide aged, disability and other support to people in the community and/or residential settings. You will start your career ahead of other graduates, with the 'Assist with medications' and depending on your stream, safe food handling skills, required by most employers in the health sector. Our teachers are experienced registered nurses, who all have current industry experience and will train you to be work ready as a health support worker, or to take the next step into a nursing qualification.

If your goal is to continue your studies, this program will give you a pathway with credit into our Diploma of Nursing. You will gain the academic background and support to succeed in studies to become an Enrolled Nurse, which in turn, will open the opportunity to continue study in the Bachelor of Nursing. Whichever pathway you choose, our strong relationships with public and private health care providers across Western Victoria will set you up to start a career which can take you as far as you want to go.

You can study this program as a traineeship or as an on-campus program. Note that traineeship eligibility requires that you are employed as a trainee within the Health sector, and that you and your employer are able to enter into a training agreement.
