  The course includes units to establish a strong conceptual understanding of gender equitable practice; therefore, it is aimed at people with an entry-level working knowledge of gender.
  
  The aim of the course is to develop the knowledge and skills of workers required to understand, support and apply gender equity within public, private and community workplaces across a range of industries and sectors. Gender equity worker roles span a range of levels of autonomy and responsibility and include gender equity specialists and those who practice gender equity in their work. The course is also designed for organisations who have responsibilities for gender action outlined in the Gender Equality Act 2020 and under the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012.
  
  Entry requirements are ACSF exit level 3 - working level 4 for both literacy and numeracy.
  It is recommended applicants are 18 years or over.
  
  As students will work with vulnerable clients, applicants are required to demonstrate good communication skills and present with a calm and engaging demeanour.
  
  The course includes discussions regarding family violence, some students may find exposure to the content distressing and may possibly find these trigger past traumatic events for the student. If this is a possibility, students should consider putting additional supports in place prior to commencing the course.
  
  The Student Enquiry and Enrolment Services team may refer the applicant to the Community and Social Services Department to assess the applicant's suitability to meet the requirements of the course if required.
