Course Description
This qualification reflects the role of support workers who complete specialised tasks and functions in aged services; either in residential, home or community based environments. Workers will take responsibility for their own outputs within defined organisation guidelines and maintain quality service delivery through the development, facilitation and review of individualised service planning and delivery.
Workers may be required to demonstrate leadership and have limited responsibility for the organisation and the quantity and quality of outputs of others within limited parameters.
Entry Requirements
Candidates must have 2 years or more working experience in the ageing support industry and must also be able to:
- Provide a National Police Check
- Provide a Yellow Card (Queensland) or equivalent in your State (only if required by the workplace)

- Have sound computer skills and LLN skills to enable them to access the online RPL resources and upload evidence.
- Have access to a regulated aged care, disability, home and community, or community service organisation that offers the full range of services required by the qualification.
Candidates self-assess their English language skills. If evidence of insufficient literacy/numeracy ability to undertake RPL is evident throughout the enrolment or commencement process, the Institute can request the candidate to undertake an LLN diagnostic test and/or refer the candidate to a specialist LLN support agency.
