Certificate III in Aged Care Work

Certificate III in Aged Care Work - (CHC30102)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Overview

Workers in this occupational group work primarily in residential facilities under direct or regular supervision within clearly defined organisational guidelines and service plans. These workers carry out activities related to the maintenance of an individual’s personal care and/or other activities of living. These workers report directly to a supervisor and are not responsible for other workers.

Due to the changes in this industry requiring its workers to have a basic understanding of computers, this course now includes an Introduction to Computers component, which places the students in a better position to gain employment as well as providing the skills required.
