This programme is designed to equip you to work effectively as a community support worker in the health and wellbeing sector.

 

You’ll gain the skills required to assist individuals, families and community groups in the areas of disability support, diversional therapy, employment, housing, budget support and general information that can enhance their health, wellbeing and prosperity. You’ll learn how to effectively engage and communicate with people in a way that respects their socio-cultural identity, and demonstrate self-awareness, reflective practice and personal leadership.

 

As part of your studies, you’ll undertake 200 hours of workplace practice, giving you hands-on experience in community settings that will prepare you well for employment.
