(CHC43015) Certificate IV in Ageing Support

About this course

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.

Enable College graduates emerge with the required skills, knowledge and practical workplace experience to care for and support older people in a variety of settings.

Enrolments may be subject to change when there are new releases to the Training Package.
