If you have cared for someone getting older, you already know the work. This course is made for turning that into a job. You learn how ageing affects body and mind, personal care, and dementia support.
There are considerable job opportunities in aged care across Australia and New Zealand. It is work you get hired for on how you are with people, and this is the knowledge behind that.
Ageing changes the body and the mind. You cover deteriorating health, the effect physical health problems have on older people, and how to support someone living with dementia.
Lessons are taught on demand and your access is lifetime. If this week goes sideways, you pick it back up when you can.
A short course built around safe, practical support for older people.
Here is what stands out in this course.
Supporting people living with dementia has its own place here, next to personal care. It is the part families find hardest.
Following safety procedures for direct care work is a topic of its own. It is the part that keeps both of you safe.
Strategies to counsel an older person who has been diagnosed with an illness, and how to deal with health that is going backwards.
Your access does not run out. Come back to the material when a role or further study makes it matter again.

That is a different thing. It is a way into the subject, and a grounding underneath you if you go on to accredited training.
