Certificate II in Introduction to Disability Care

Get job ready for a career that makes a difference to people's lives and the community.

Disability support can take place in the community, a client's home, or a residential facility. It supports people with  disability, across all ages and circumstances. Working in disability care is a highly rewarding career, where you can truly make a positive difference in people's lives.

This nationally recognised and accredited qualification is the perfect introduction to working in disability care. You'll learn how to follow an individualised plan to provide person-centred support to people who may require support due to disability or some other reason and gain knowledge and skills to work effectively with people with disability in a way that enables them to maintain independence; provide individualised support; work safely; and working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds.

What a great way to start a great career! Completion of this course can provide credit towards a relevant higher level qualification, should you wish to pursue further study. It's also an excellent pathway to a traineeship in this industry.
