Description -

Certificate III in Aged Care allows you access into caring for the aged. Aged care services comprise a system of appropriate support services, involving provision for the maintenance of continued independence as well as assistance for the frail. Such services should include health monitoring, personal care, environmental and social support services, information and advocacy services. Aged Care Workers have the capacity to work in a high or low level facility, supportive care or the community.

Learn clinical skills such as - temperature, pulse, respirations, blood sugar levels and blood pressure. No lift and manual handling skills.

At FACTS the ACFI and Accreditation Standards are embedded into the course.
