Work placement
Placement of 200 hours (an additional 80 hours above the minimum requirement) is required where students have no background in assisting family members/acting as a carer, have worked in the health/aged care sector.
If a participant is currently working in the disability sector you would be required to demonstrate working in the role for 120 hours. This can be done via payslips or a letter from your workplace that we can verify. This allows participants to complete practical activities within their job role.
