Training:

The nationally recognised qualifications for working in the disability sector are:

Certificate III in Individual Support (CHC33015)

This 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.

Certificate IV in Disability (CHC43115)

This qualification reflects the role of workers in a range of community settings and clients’ homes, who provide training and support in a manner that empowers people with disabilities to achieve greater levels of independence, self-reliance, community participation and wellbeing. Workers promote a person-centred approach, work without direct supervision and may be required to supervise and/or coordinate a small team.

Undertaking training for a national qualification can be done in several ways such as face to face lessons, online or distance learning, recognition of prior learning, traineeship pathway or a combination of these. Choosing a training provider, the appropriate qualification and mode of learning to suit your needs is something you will need to consider. A complete list of registered training organisations who provide training and recognition of prior learning for these qualifications can be found at
