Certificate III in Individual Support (Age Care)

This qualification reflects the role of workers in the community and/or residential setting who follow an individualised plan to provide person-centred care to people, requiring assistance due to ageing, disability or some other reason. Work involves using discretion and judgement in relation to individual support as well as taking responsibility for own outputs. Workers use a variety of practical, technical and procedural practices, as well as theoretical knowledge of concepts and practices required to provide quality person-centred care and support.

This qualification is considered an entry-level qualification for direct care workers. It is also an excellent way of reintroducing long-standing staff members back into education and formerly recognising their expertise.

Students can specialise in aged care, home and community care or disability services.

The course is offered via classroom delivery, distance or online, by qualified Anglicare educators who aim to provide a high standard of training for all trainees. Classes are one day per week and include 2 practical skills days.

To qualify for the Certificate III in Individual Support, students must complete:

• 13 units of competency – 7 core units and 6 electives,

• a minimum of 120 workplace hours in a registered care provider service (depending on specialisation chosen),

• homework and assessment tasks (3-4 hours per unit),

• workplace assessments & skills audits.

Please see schedule of fees for more information.

Traineeships or other funding may be available for some participants on application & assessment.

Smart & Skilled funding may be available for some participants residing in NSW – visit the Smart & Skilled website to check eligibility.
