Courses

If your priority is to get a job in the most sought-after industry, this is the course for you!

In response to the rapidly changing COVID-19 situation, there is an urgent demand for aged and disability workers trained in providing safe personal care and support. These skills have never been more important for those working or looking to work in the health and community services sectors.

The Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing, Home and Community) course provides you with a holistic approach to caring for the older people within our community.

This course is designed to equip you to provide physical and social support to elderly individuals and people in hostels, group homes and community settings. The course also aims to provide you with the knowledge, skills and values required to perform competently as professional Health Care Workers. This group of professionals are expected to carry out activities to maintain personal care and/or other activities of living for people in an aged care setting. This qualification addresses work primarily in residential facilities, under direct or regular supervision, within clearly defined organisation guidelines and service plans. The course structure is designed to ensure a balance between theory and practice.

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed an unprecedented strain on the aged care and disability support workforce.  A new skill set – CHCSS00114 Entry into Care Roles Skill Set has been developed in response to COVID-19 by the Australian Federal Government.

Skill Set Units include:

CHCCCS015 Provide Individualised Support
HLTINF001 Comply with Infection Prevention and Control Policies and Procedures
HLTWHS002 Follow Safe Work Practices for Direct Client Care (including 1-week workplace training)

The Certificate III in Individual Support at Stott’s College incorporates those three units.

This skill set is not designed to replace the Certificate III in Individual Support, but rather to meet an immediate industry need, and is considered valid until 30 June 2021.
