Advance your skills and impact lives as an aged care support worker
Australia's population is ageing. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare says that by 2030, around 17.8% of people will be 65 or over. By becoming an ageing support worker, you could help change lives for the better.
By successfully completing this Certificate IV in Ageing Support, you'll be able to perform specialised tasks and functions in aged services in residential, home or community-based environments. The program will teach you to be responsible for your own work, follow set guidelines, and ensure quality service by developing, facilitating and reviewing personalised care plans.
You'll learn through theoretical classes and practical training at our state-of-the-art allied health facilities. You'll gain the skills to provide person-centred care, ensuring health and wellbeing. You’ll learn to support independent living, care for people with dementia and assist with palliative care. You'll also refine communication skills, learn about legal and ethical matters, and develop cultural competence.
