Gain advanced skills and change lives in the rewarding field of youth work

According to the Australian Government, the future demand for youth workers is strong. Join an industry dedicated to improving the physical, social and emotional wellbeing of youth in Australia.

The Diploma of Youth Work will teach you to engage with young people and work alongside them to meet their goals. You'll learn to focus on objectives for the benefit of clients and the organisation and develop your own leadership style. And you'll gain the skills to drive the social, behavioural, health, welfare, developmental, and protection needs of young people.

Potential employment opportunities include youth support worker/team leader (out-of-home care, local government or not-for-profit). You could also find work as a youth liaison officer, youth welfare worker (schools), or youth support and programs worker in the community, government and other agencies.

This course is ideal if you have completed Certificate IV in Youth Work or work in the sector and want to further your career. Upon completion of this course, you will have the opportunity to take the pathway to a Bachelor of Community Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drugs or a Bachelor of Psychology.
