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, home or residential care setting who work under supervision and delegation as a part of a multi-disciplinary team, following an individualised plan to provide person-centred support to people who may require support due to ageing, disability or other reasons.
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.
The skills in this course must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State/Territory legislation, Australian standards and industry codes of practice.
To achieve this course, the student must have completed at least 120 hours of work as detailed in the Assessment requirements of the unit of competency.
