The Certificate IV in Ageing Support reflects the responsibilities of individuals working in the aged care sector, where they provide support to elderly clients in a variety of settings, including residential care, community care, and home and hospital environments. These professionals apply their skills and knowledge to meet the complex needs of older adults, ensuring their wellbeing, safety, and dignity.

As an individual holding this qualification, you may be responsible for coordinating care plans, supervising care staff, assisting with daily living activities, and providing emotional and social support. You will also be required to monitor the health and wellbeing of clients and provide assistance with medications and other health-related activities.

This qualification is available through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), allowing you to receive the Certificate IV in Ageing Support based on your existing skills and experience, without the need for formal study. If you have been working in aged care and have accumulated relevant experience, RPL provides a fast-track pathway to certification by assessing your prior learning and on-the-job experience.
