What is a Certificate III in Individual Support?

The Certificate III in Individual Support (CHC33015) is an entry-level, nationally recognised qualification in Australia. Its core units focus on providing support to the elderly and individuals with disabilities, often requiring personalised care.
Learners also delve into how to work with diverse people, including older people and those with mental health issues. This course has a specialisation in aged care, with work placements in residential care facilities, providing practical skills and hands-on experience.

Can I study the Certificate III in Individual Support online?

Online learning is a convenient option, especially for those balancing other commitments. However, the certificate III requires a certain number of hours of work placement in a healthcare setting. Therefore, a blended learning approach is adopted, combining online theory with face-to-face practical sessions on campus. Some education providers offer free courses for eligible students, but it’s necessary to check the course fees and start date with your chosen provider.

How long does it take to complete the Certificate III in Individual Support?

The Certificate III in Individual Support (CHC33015 or the newer CHC33021) typically takes around 12 months of full-time study. Some learners may choose a part-time option, extending the duration. Providers may also offer recognition of prior learning (RPL) to fast-track the study for those with relevant experience.

What career opportunities can a Certificate III in Individual Support provide?

Upon completion, diverse job opportunities as a carer are available, including roles as a personal care assistant, community care worker, or disability support worker. You could also work within the NDIS framework or in roles offering support services to older people, promoting their independence.

Is a Certificate III in Individual Support the right career path for me?

Choosing this career path requires passion, patience, and resilience. It can be demanding but also incredibly rewarding, knowing you can provide support to vulnerable people and support independence and social inclusion. Before enrolment, consider the physical and emotional demands of the job. Also check the entry requirements, including necessary vaccines, First Aid certification, Working with Children Check and a National Police Check.
