CHC33021 CERTIFICATE III IN INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT (AGEING)
This qualification reflects the roles of health care workers in the community-setting home care and/or residential facilities who follow an individualised plan and provide person-centered care to individuals who may require support due to ageing or disability or from needing home support. The work involves using consideration and judgement in relation to individual support as well as taking responsibility for oneself. The students will gain a range of factual, practical and procedural knowledge, as well as theoretical knowledge of the concepts and practices required to provide person-centred care and approach.
120 hours of practical work placement and assessment at a residential/aged care centre is compulsory for each student to complete the qualification.
The CHC33015 Certificate III in Individual Support qualification (“old course”) has been superseded in the national training system. AIBT plans to offer the replacement qualification, CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support (“new course”), later in 2023.
All students enrolled in the old course must be completed no later than 31 July 2024, or transition to the new course before that date. Any student starting the old course now will be required to transition to the new course later in the year. The details of that transition will be provided closer to that time.
AIBT welcomes enrolments into the old course and will provide transition to the new course for each student.
Please note that CoEs cannot be issued for the Certificate III of Individual Support new course until that course is added to AIBT’s scope of registration. Existing CoEs for the old Certificate III of Individual Support will be updated as individual students transition later in the year.
