AWARD WINNING TRAINING PROVIDER

A CHILD SAFE ORGANISATION

proven results from our industry courses

I STARTED A NEW CAREER AT 55!At the age of 53 I looked at my life and wondered what had gone wrong, my life had fallen in a hole despite many years of hard work. I was past middle age, divorced with two teenagers, living below the poverty line and at risk of losing my home.

By age 55 and after two years in survival mode, I enrolled in a Cert III Individual Support (Aged Care) at a local TAFE and things started to pick up. Through a friend made in the course, I was offered work providing personal care to high needs client in their home. I also set up a sole trader business cleaning holiday cottages locally.

The Cert IV Disability at The Centre offered credit transfers for many of my previous competencies, so I was able to complete the course within six months. For a second time I was offered work through a contact made during the course, less personal care and more disability support this time.

With two jobs in hand, I went on student placement and as a result was offered a third role, permanent casual disability support in a residential care setting. I have more work than I need, and have heard similar observations from colleagues.Three years post divorce, I have been offered three out of the last four disability jobs I have applied for. I have a steady income doing work that has very flexible hours, is varied, responsible and interesting.

It’s been a better outcome than I could have imagined.Certificate IV in Disability offers a range of opportunities. I moved into the technical medical side of care but there is work available that is less ‘hands on’ such as working in support coordination, day programs, advocacy and program auditing.
