Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing and Disability) (VIC Only)

Structured Workplace Learning and Assessment (SWLA), also referred to as work placement, is a mandatory component of this course. A minimum of 127 hours of work placement is required to successfully complete the course.

• Before commencing work placement, students will complete the required theory and assessment activities to ensure they are prepared for the workplace.
• Students are responsible for sourcing a suitable work placement. The proposed workplace will be reviewed to ensure it can provide the facilities, equipment, resources and learning opportunities needed.
• During work placement, students practise skills in the workplace before completing assessment activities. Where required, skills must first be demonstrated through simulated activities before progressing to working with real clients.
• Students are responsible for meeting any workplace compliance requirements, which may include vaccination requirements, evidence of immunisation status, Police Checks, Working with Children Checks, NDIS Worker Screening Checks, statutory declarations or other workplace-specific clearances. Any costs associated with obtaining these requirements are the responsibility of the student.
