Why and Who:
This qualification is accredited by the Australian Community Workers Association (ACWA) and meets the mandatory requirements for the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Stream 1 qualification meets mandatory requirements for child protection and youth justice workers. This course aims to recognise and build on the skills of those who work in roles in community services, case management, social housing, family violence, child protection, etc. who are managing, coordinating and/or delivering person-centred services to individuals, families and communities. At this level, workers already have specialised skills in community services and work autonomously under broad directions from senior management. Workers may also have responsibility for the supervision of other workers and volunteers and/or case management; program coordination or the development of new business opportunities. This course aims to:
- Deliver the program using an Aboriginal cultural lens where each student’s perspectives are valued and encouraged.
- Support workers who work in the community services sector to obtain relevant qualification.
