ABOUT THE COURSE
The CHCSS00129 Individual Support — Ageing Skill Set is a focused program designed specifically for those looking to work with older Australians in home, community or residential settings. Rather than covering broad health topics, it zeroes in on the core competencies relevant to aged care — understanding the needs of older clients, providing person-centred support and working within legal and ethical frameworks.
The ageing skill set is ideal for new entrants to the sector as well as existing workers who want a formal credential that reflects what they already do. It's concise, career-relevant and recognised by employers across the aged care and community services industries.
DELIVERY METHOD
Learning about aged care from a screen alone isn't enough — our delivery combines face-to-face sessions with practical, workplace-based experience so you're prepared for the real demands of the job. Classroom time is used to build your knowledge and understanding, while supervised practical components let you apply that knowledge in genuine care environments.
Assessment is competency-based, so you're judged on your actual ability to perform, not just your memory on a test day. Our trainers structure sessions to keep things approachable and manageable, so whether you're studying for the first time in years or building on existing experience, the pace works in your favour.
OUR TRAINERS
Aged care is a sector where experience counts and our trainers bring it in full. With backgrounds spanning residential aged care, home care and community support services, they understand the realities of working with older clients — the communication challenges, the emotional demands and the professional standards that keep people safe.
That real-world perspective shapes every session, making your training feel relevant rather than theoretical. Blue Stone Medical & Professional is a fully accredited RTO (Registration No. 32117) and we hold every trainer to the standard that reflects that. You'll leave with skills you can use immediately — because your trainer has used them too.
FUNDED COURSES
Getting qualified in aged care shouldn't break the bank. This skill set is available through Queensland Government funding, keeping your costs straightforward and manageable.
Concessional students pay $100.00 and the non-concessional fee is $200.00 — either way, it's a small investment for a credential that directly improves your employment prospects. Financial assistance through AuStudy and AbStudy may also be available to eligible students.
Call our Rockhampton, Gladstone or Beenleigh office and we'll confirm your eligibility and walk you through the funding process from start to finish — it's simpler than you might think.
POSSIBLE CAREER PATHS
Aged care is one of the most in-demand employment sectors in Australia and the ageing skill set positions you to step directly into that demand. Graduates go on to work as aged care assistants, home care workers, personal care workers in residential facilities and support workers within community aged care programs.
For those already in the workforce, this credential often unlocks higher-level responsibilities and better pay. The ageing skill set also pairs well with the full CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support for those who want to continue building their qualifications over time. Wherever you want to take your career in care, this is a strong place to start.
