General: This qualification reflects the role of workers in the community and/or residential setting who follow an individualised plan to provide person-centred support to people who may require support due to ageing, disability or some other reason. Work involves using discretion and judgement in relation to individual support as well as taking responsibility for own outputs. Workers have a range of factual, technical and procedural knowledge, as well as some theoretical knowledge of the concepts and practices required to provide person-centred support.
As Australia’s population continues to age, more citizens will require support to help them in their daily life. At ITHEA, a certificate 3 in disability Melbourne allows students to gain valuable in-class and work placement thanks to our industry connections. Students are required to complete 120 hours of practical placement throughout their studies. Many graduates from our certificate iii in disability in Melbourne have gained employment at the facilities they undertake their work placement.
If you are looking for a rewarding career, a certificate 3 in disability will ensure you are on the right path to helping others who need it most. Get in touch with ITHEA, and our staff will discuss your study options with a cert 3 in disability.
Employment Growth: Community and Personal Service Workers is the broad occupation category.
Entry requirements: Prospective students are required to complete a Language Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) assessment and a Pre-Training Interview, administered by and to the satisfaction of ITHEA and be at least 18 years of age. You must have good word processing and email skills as well as the ability to download and upload documents and information. Please see our Online Service Standards.
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/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 disability services 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.
