Course Description

Certificate III Community Services applies to community work delivered through a broad range of services which provide support to individuals and groups through the provision of person-centered services. Work may include day-to-day support of individuals in community settings or support the implementation of specific community-based programs. You will learn effective communication strategies, gain cultural awareness and skills in advocacy to be able to provide emotional and practical support to clients, including initiating referrals. This level is appropriate for support workers acting under the supervision of more experienced staff.
