IHNA has campuses across major Australian cities, including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. To further our mission, we have expanded internationally with a state-of-the-art delivery location in Kochi, Kerala, India.
The IHNA India (Kochi) campus offers AQF-level Australian qualifications, providing students in India access to the same world-class education as their Australian peers.
This course reflects the role of individuals in the community settings and peoples’ homes, who provide support in a manner that empowers people with disabilities to achieve greater levels of independence, self-reliance, community participation and wellbeing. Workers promote a person-centred approach, work according to and may contribute to an individualised plan, and work without direct supervision. They may be required to supervise and/or coordinate a small team.
These individuals take responsibility for their own outputs within the scope of their job role and delegation. 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.
