Individual Support, Aging and Disability BigDog has been included in the Industry Reference Committee coordinated by SkillsIQ, a not-for-profit organisation appointed by the Commonwealth Department of Education, Skills and Employment to develop national skills standards in this industry.
The purpose of the committee is to also ensure that skills are relevant for jobs in this industry and to meet critical skills gaps and shortages. The Aged Care Workforce Strategy 2018 found that Certificate III in Individual Support was not meeting the skills needs of workers. The introduction of the NDIS has led to an increased demand for personalisation of care and a diversity of skills to meet the needs of clients. This has led to the review of current qualifications at Certificate III and Certificate IV levels to ensure skills meet client and workforce needs.
