Accelerate your career in care
Did you love what you learned in your Certificate III and want to expand your career path even further? Gain even more skills and knowledge to specifically provide support and care to people living with a disability.
As a Certificate IV in Disability Support student, you will advance your understanding of individual support to include people with complex needs, and will be equipped to advance into supervisory/coordination roles.
You will be doing much more than assisting people living with a disability - you will be championing their independence, enhancing their quality of life and ensuring they remain active and engaged.
Person-centred learning approach
This course equips you in providing personalised care that empowers and supports the independence and wellbeing of people living with a disability. It focuses on a person-centred approach to support and care.
You’ll develop skills in:
- Providing person-centred services to people with complex needs and chronic diseases.
- Facilitating community participation and social inclusion.
- Working with people with mental health issues.
- Legal and ethical compliance requirements for workers and services.
"I learned everything I could about individual support, the confidence in my role and the knowledge to back it up” - Ned

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Whilst a Certificate III in Individual Support is an entry requirement and can't be use for RPL, you may have completed additional courses or gained broader on-job skills and knowledge. Get in touch with us to find out more.
Confidence to make your next career move
While this course is mostly completed online, learning also goes beyond theory with a pre-placement workshop and the placement itself.
Learn while studying with the placement component of this course. Upon completion of this course, you’ll have the confidence to find employment as a team leader or manager, care worker or disability support coordinator.
Everything you need to take your career to the next level, you’ll find within this course.
Affordable learning made easy
In much the same way that we teach you to understand the varied needs of your clients, we too understand the varying needs of our students when it comes to learning.
We are one of the few organisations that offer mostly online training with some face-to-face practicals. With us, you can complete the course in your own time, and at your own pace.
This course also includes 120 hours of placement so you will be able to apply the knowledge learned online into your placement. This will help you not only develop your skills in the disability support sector but also gain the confidence to care and support people living with a disability once your course is complete.
We’ve also created an affordable approach to learning, making it even easier to study. Commonwealth Concession Card Holder concessions apply, meaning you can start this course for as little as $375.
There is the option to pay for the course upfront or go on a 6 month payment plan.
Further your career in disability support
Further advance the skills and experience you gained from your Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability) with the Certificate IV in Disability Support.
Not only is placement a requirement, it could lead to ongoing work. A number of our students are often offered ongoing roles with those they do placement with.
If you’re ready and want to get started, it’s as easy as enrolling now.
If you need more information, our course advisor, Mandy is ready to answer your questions. You can schedule a call with Mandy to get started.

It takes a special kind of person to work in the disability support sector. It’s those that get satisfaction and feel rewarded by making a real difference in the lives of others that succeed. There are not many careers where you’d have that on your daily to do list.
Our training fosters this sense of purpose and empowers you to become advocates for change and inclusion in the disability sector.
The guidance and support you need
Completing the Certificate IV in Disability Support requires more than just ambition alone. It requires the right education along with guidance and support. We provide that in spades.
Gain the expertise and confidence to succeed in the disability support sector.
As part of completing this course you will have your own trainer to provide support. There are also Success and Wellbeing Services (SWS) coaches on hand to provide you with individualised support should you need it. Find out more about how our SWS coaches can help on your path to success.
