CHC40313 Certificate IV in Child, Youth and Family Intervention
General: This qualification reflects the role of those who work in youth and family intervention, including practice specialisations in residential and out of home care, family support and early intervention. Workers operate under a broad supervision framework and within clearly defined organisational guidelines, service plans and position specifications.
Employment Growth: The number of people working as Welfare Support Workers (in their main job) fell over the past 5 years and is expected to grow strongly over the next 5 years: from 46,700 in 2018 to 52,100 by 2023. Job openings can come from new jobs being created, but most come from turnover (workers leaving). There are likely to be around 30,000 job openings over 5 years (that’s about 6,000 a year).

Delivery and assessment: We offer students the flexibility of choosing between online learning or classroom delivery. Assessment methods allow for the gathering of sufficient quality evidence about the student’s performance. Methods used include question and answer, observation and demonstration, case study and projects.
Practical placement requirements: To achieve this qualification, the candidate must have completed at least 120 hours of work as detailed in the Assessment Requirements of the units of competency. Students are required to undertake supervised practical placement in relevant residential and out of home care settings. Evidence provided by the supervisor will contribute to assessment of the candidate’s ability to work at this level. Students are required to find their own practical placement, however ITHEA will provide assistance and support where needed. Students must have a valid National Police Check and a Working with Children Check prior to attending placement.
