With an ageing population and the recent expansion of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), the demand for skilled aged and disability support staff continues to grow, with the National Careers Institute forecasting very strong future demand for Aged and Disabled Carers. Job opportunities in aged and disability support can be found across Australia and offer flexible work schedules, including full-time, part-time, and casual positions. Work in this sector can also be found outside of standard working hours, such as mornings, evenings, or weekends, ensuring flexibility to accommodate your lifestyle.
Our certificate in Individual Support provides hands-on training that will prepare you for a career in Aged Care or Disability Support. Our courses include training in our simulated care environment, providing a realistic setting for honing your skills and gaining confidence in providing care to clients. Additionally, each course incorporates a work placement component where you can put your new skills into practice. We understand that finding a work placement can be stressful, so we are committed to easing this process for our learners by partnering with care facilities across Australia to secure placements.
