Course overview
This course is available to study in-class for students in Victoria only
We offer this course with the one specialisation, being ageing. The Certificate III in Individual Support 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.

Duration study load
The program is run at our Blackburn, Narre Warren & Preston training facilities and consists of classes 1 day (9.00am – 4.30pm) or 2 night classes (5pm – 9pm) for 22 weeks.
Practical experience is undertaken throughout the course in the All Health Training simulated environment with trainers who are experts in their field and maintain currency in the industry.
Entry requirements
- This is an open entry program of study with participants needing to read, write and communicate in English to a level to perform the job. Students will be required to complete a LLN evaluation to determine suitability.
- Students must be over 18 years of age to conduct practical placement.
- Police checks are required prior to commencing practical placement which we will organise on our students’ behalf. If a student has a Disclosable Court Outcome registered against their name, we are unable to assist with placement as industry will not accept students without a clear record. This requirement is not negotiable. Please note, in Victoria this includes any offence that may have occurred up to 10 years ago and will show offences that state they are “without conviction”.
- Students are required to be able to access a computer which will allow use of a USB in order to complete assessments and read information for units of competency.
Work placement
Practicum placement of 120 hours is required which All Health Training will organise on our students behalf.
The hours of work required within Aged Care facilities is usually in two shifts, the morning shift is from 7:00am – 3:00pm which is the preferred shift for our students to attend; the afternoon shift being 3:00pm – 9:30-10pm. Weekend work is very difficult to organise. Facilities have advised that they prefer students to be available for at least a 3 – 5 day block initially and as such, All Health Training suggests if you are already working you consider discussing and organising work and/or family care arrangements prior to undertaking practical placement to enable you to undertake these duties during the week.
Practical placement may be commenced after week 6 of the course and must be completed within 1 month after the course conclusion.
Students will be required to wear an All Health Training polo shirt and name badge (both provided) on placement. In addition, long black pants & black closed in, non-slip shoes will be required which students will either need to provide or purchase at their own cost.
Recognition of prior learning
Competencies gained through other formal study or experience may be acknowledged through a recognition process.
