CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability and Ageing) course provides the skills and training necessary to fulfill a care role in aged, disability and other person-centred support settings. The units of study provide students with foundational skills and knowledge to work in the aged, disability and home and community care industry. Students learn to work with individuals to support their independence and wellbeing, in their homes or in community settings. This stream specialises in the Aged Care or Disability Support Worker role, equipping students with additional key skills specific to caring for people in a variety of settings.
