The CHC43015 Certificate IV in Ageing Support has been created to provide you with training whether you are currently working, or hoping to find work in residential facilities in aged care.
If you are committed to the rights of elderly people, are physically fit and have patience, discretion and a high level of professionalism, then this industry needs you to take the next step in your career by gaining this nationally accredited qualification. This course can be undertaken online at your own pace, beginning at any time of the year.
Aged care workers provide care either in a client’s home, or in a residential care setting. They carry out their duties under direct or regular guidance within clearly defined care plans or organisational strategies.
This course is superseded by CHC43021 Certificate IV in Ageing Support. For now, you may still enrol in this course, and we will transition you to the new course at no additional cost once it is available. We’ll be in touch closer to our launch date to give you more information about what this means for you. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, as our friendly Enrolment Consultants are always happy to help.
If you are an existing worker or have experience in the related industry, please inform our enrolment consultants during your enrolment conversation. You may be eligible to enrol as an existing worker and complete your studies faster. Please note - limitations do apply.
