Course Overview – Aged Care Training Melbourne

RGIT Australia’s Certificate III in Individual Support (Aged Care Training) qualification reflects the role of workers in the community and/or residential setting who follow an individualised plan to provide person-centred support to people who may require support due to ageing, disability or some other reason. Work involves using discretion and judgement in relation to individual support as well as taking responsibility for own outputs. Workers have a range of factual, technical and procedural knowledge, as well as some theoretical knowledge of the concepts and practices required to provide person-centred support.

Students will possess a sound base in theoretical individual support industry skills and knowledge combined with 120 hours in a regulated Aged care industry that they would like to develop to enhance their educational and employment opportunities. Graduates at this level will have specialised knowledge and skills for skilled/paraprofessional work and/or further learning.
