Any other questions in your mind – let us give you some more clarity with the following FAQs – check below:

1. What is ageing support?

Ageing Support highlights the job of qualified professionals who carry out specific duties and responsibilities in aged services. They are expected to be accountable for their own work within established organizational boundaries and work in domestic, hospital, or community settings.

2. Which is better aged care or disability?

Both the specializations cater to a particular section of our community and deliver their services in a very meticulous framework. Disability services are typically not well-equipped to oversee the provisions and ailments of aging. Aged care services are unable to accommodate the stringent support needs of individuals suffering from disabilities. But disability and aged care services can frequently provide a comparable range of facilities to service users.

3. What is the difference between the Ageing and Disability specialisations in this certificate?

A CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing & Disability) qualification reflects the role of individuals in the community, home or residential care setting who work under supervision and delegation as a part of a multi-disciplinary team, following an individualised plan to provide person-centred support to people who may require support due to ageing, disability or some other reason.

The Ageing specialisation focuses on supporting and caring for elderly individuals, addressing their unique needs and challenges. Disability specialisation, on the other hand, is centred around supporting individuals with disabilities and helping them achieve greater independence and quality of life.
