June 2024

In 2021, the CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support and CHC43121 Certificate IV in Disability Support were endorsed. 

These two highly popular qualifications are recognised as critical pre-employment training pathways for the aged care and disability support sector.

The Project will deliver:

  • Implementation Review: A detailed report that outlines the findings from the review of the qualifications' implementation, including issues and barriers and the impact they have had on implementation processes, identified best practices, and potential strategies and solutions.
  • Stakeholder Consultation Summary: A document summarising the feedback, suggestions, and concerns raised by stakeholders during the consultation process. This will include a list of stakeholders engaged and the methodology used for consultation. 
  • Final Project Report for the Skills Ministers: A comprehensive report compiling all findings, analyses and stakeholder feedback, and providing advice on next steps and opportunities. 

This project is commencing with the establishment of a Project Reference Group (PRG) comprising workforce development specialists and other stakeholders to provide advice on a suitable consultation paper, stakeholder groups and approaches to secure quality feedback and advice.
