As the growing demand for aged care services grow, so does the demand for qualified staff with hands-on experience.

Within the Community Services area we offer both full-time & part-time study for Certificate III in Aged Care Work. We also offer a Skills Recognition option for those who are already working in the industry.

Our college-based delivery is supported by a range of resources that enhance teaching and learning across all aspects of Aged Care Studies for example, the students are taken on excursions to different facilities for hands-on experience and on campus where students can engage in simulated experiences utilising equipment and other aids.
