Pursuing a fulfilling career in Human Services (Community and Health) is easy at TAFE Illawarra which has courses in Aged Care, Nursing or Youth Work.
You will gain the knowledge and skills required to work in an aged care facility, as a community support worker, a home care assistant or a community care worker, as an enrolled nurse in a hospital or as a youth worker.
Aged care workers provide person centred care for older people in residential facilities and in their own homes. Caring and supporting the older person involves working with an individualised plan, specific to the person’s physical needs as well as promoting the health and well being of that person. There is a focus on maintaining independence, enabling the older person to be empowered to make decisions and to be involved. There are specific groups of people requiring specialised skills and abilities, and these include people with dementia and people requiring palliative care towards the end of life.
Nurses are important members of the health care team and their primary role is providing patient care. Nurses need to develop skills to communicate with people, have knowledge of contemporary nursing practice, law and ethics, anatomy and physiology, acute and chronic health disorders, clinical nursing skills and medication management. A career in nursing will enable you to interact competently and professionally with other health professionals within acute and non-acute environments.

Youth work is about helping young people make positive changes in their lives and developing their skills to maintain positive decisions in the future. While this can mean providing specific services such as accommodation, education, training and employment or counselling, youth work programs go beyond homelessness or drug and alcohol issues and are more about community development.
To further your education and career development there are a number of learning pathways available to you. When you finish a Certificate level qualification in aged care, nursing or youth work course you can apply for advanced standing in a range of Diploma courses in Human Services (Community and Health). Successful completion in a Diploma course will enable students to apply for entrance to University where credits may be granted, as many as up to one year.
