CHC52025 Diploma of Community Service

CHC52025 Diploma of Community Services

The CHC52025 Diploma of Community Services is a nationally recognised qualification that reflects the role of community services workers involved in the delivery, management and coordination of person-centred services to individuals, groups, and communities.

At this level, workers have specialised skills in community services and work autonomously within their scope of practice under broad directions from senior management.

Workers support people to make change in their lives to improve personal and social wellbeing and may also have responsibility for the supervision of other workers and volunteers. They may also undertake case management and program coordination.

To achieve this qualification, the candidate must have completed at least 100 hours of work as detailed in the Assessment Requirements of units of competency.

Study Options

The Diploma of Community Services is offered as a packaged course along with the Certificate III in Individual Support and Certificate IV in Ageing Support.

For students who wish to enrol in the course directly, it is recommended that they have completed previous study or have work experience in the community service and/or health sector.

Due to the delicate design of the package, students who enrol in the program separately may need to complete some units on a self-paced basis if they do not meet the eligibility requirements for a Credit Transfer or Recognition of Prior Learning.
