Certificate III in Community Services

Overview

Community services workers are typically employed by community centres and organisations that focus on community outreach and care. They are a type of human services worker, which is a term used to describe a wide array of jobs that focus on providing care, support and counselling to individuals dealing with issues such as adult day-care, substance abuse, human relationships, and rehabilitation.

Our CHC32015 Certificate III in Community Services course teaches students how to provide support to vulnerable members of society, whilst also providing a foundation for the diploma course in community services, if they wish to continue their studies.

A community services worker’s clients often include pregnant teens, homeless people, families, and the elderly. Most of a community services worker’s duties are conducted in an office environment, and potential employers may include halfway houses, housing programs supported by state and local governments and group homes.
