Human Services FAQ's

Many students have previously been accepted into university using their completed Certificate III Individual Support as a means of entry. Each year universities can set there own guidelines on qualifications students are required, to be accepted into uni. We have had great success in the past with students continuing onto uni.

Students learn a range of basic nursing skills such as taking blood pressure and blood glucose levels, using manual handling equipment such as lift hoists, transferring and positioning clients, wound dressing etc

The course has a lot of theory work required to give you the knowledge needed to understand the how and why before learning the practical skills. The aim is to try to do half of the lessons each week as theory and the other half practical. This depends on the unit being studied.

Yes! We are very fortunate in this subject to have a high number of School-based Traineeships offered. Each year we have multiple opportunities in local aged care facilities. The benefit of a SbAT is that you get to use your skills more often and work approx 800 hrs in the industry. This gives you a great understanding and appreciation of the Aged Care industry.

Compulsory industry appropriate vaccines are required for all staff working in aged care facilities (this includes School-based Trainees and Workplace Learning students). If a student completing the Human Services course is unable to receive these required vaccines due to a medical contraindication, they will need to provide evidence from their doctor or treating specialist.
