    This course is suitable for those who have some experience working in disability or aged care sector. If you want to take the next step in your career in the disability sector, this course will build on what you already know and prepare you to work in roles where you lead others and assist clients in managing their services. You will empower people with disabilities to achieve greater levels of independence, self-reliance, community participation and wellbeing.
