  • We need to let you in on a secret......

  • If you are eligible for a Government Funded position as part of the Victoria Training Guarantee:

    The Victorian Training Guarantee makes vocational training more accessible to people who do not hold a post-school qualification, or who want to gain a higher-level qualification than they already hold.

    There are now an unlimited number of government-subsidised training places available in Victoria to people who meet the eligibility criteria.

    However, we need to let you in on a few secrets about the Victorian Training Guarantee and how it could affect your future funding entitlements.

    You need to be ‘upskilling’, you can’t ‘downskill!’

    It kind of makes sense, but we need to spell it out.  To be eligible for a Government Funded position you need to be ‘upskilling.’  For instance, if you have completed a Certificate III, you will only be eligible for a Government Funded position at a Certificate IV or higher level. 

    In this example, you would not be eligible to complete a Certificate I, Certificate II or Certificate III qualification, as these qualifications are either at or below the level of your current highest-level qualification.  The only exception is if the qualification is on the Foundation Skills list, which we give you the low down on in the section ‘You can only commence two qualifications in the one-year.’

    You can only commence two qualifications at the one level and receive a Government Funded position

    Under the Victorian Training Guarantee, if you commence a qualification at a level where you are eligible to receive a Government Funded position, have never commenced a qualification at that level and do not complete the qualification at the level, you can only start one more qualification at that level within your lifetime and receive a Government Funded position. 

    For example, Richard had never commenced a Certificate III qualification. So one day, Richard enrolled in Certificate III in Aged Care.  Once he commenced, he could only receive a future Government Funded position in one more Certificate III qualification as part of the Victorian Training Guarantee.

    Once you have commenced one qualification at a particular level, you can only start one more qualification at that level and receive a Government Funded position.

    If you have previously commenced a qualification at a level that you are eligible to receive a Government Funded position, and did not complete the qualification at that level or are still studying that qualification, you can only start one more qualification at that level within your lifetime. 

    For example, in Richard’s example, whilst studying Certificate III in Aged Care, he took advantage of the second Government Funded position that was available to him at a Certificate III level and commenced studying certificate III in Home and Community Care.

    Don't leave enrolment in your second qualification at a particular level until you have finished your first qualification at that level - it will affect your future entitlements through the Victorian Training Guarantee.

    If you commenced a qualification at a level you are eligible to receive a Government Funded position, and have never commenced a qualification at this level, but have study aspirations to study to qualifications at that level, you need to enrol in the second qualification prior to completing the first qualification. 

    For example, Jane wanted to study Certificate III in Aged Care, followed by Certificate III in Disability Services.  When she had two weeks of study left in her Certificate III in Aged Care qualification, she enrolled in Certificate III in Disability, and was still eligible to receive a Government Funded position.  Had she waited until she completed Certificate III in Aged Care she would have had to:

    - Enrol in Certificate III in Disability Services as a Fee for Service Personal Care Master OR

    - Enrol in a Certificate IV qualification, that may not have matched her career goals, in order to receive a Government Funded position

    You can only commence two qualifications in the one-year.

    Once you have started two qualifications in a calendar year, regardless of if you are still studying, successfully completed them or withdrew from them, you can only start two qualifications in the one calendar year.  This applies to qualifications at the same level or differing levels. 

    For example, in 2015 Jane commenced both Certificate III in Aged Care and Certificate III in Disability Services.  As she had commenced two courses in the one calendar year, she could not commence a third.  She would also not be eligible to receive any future Government Funded positions to commence another Certificate III qualification.

    The Government does have some special course listed on what it calls the Foundation Skills list.  These are courses that develop specific skills people need prior to entering training.  These courses are exempt from the up skilling rule (for instance someone who holds a Certificate IV, may need retraining due to a job redundancy, so they can complete a Foundation Skills course), but are not exempt from the two qualifications in the one-year rule.  

    You can only commence two qualifications in the one year, even if they are at different qualification levels.

    We get this point may be telling you to suck eggs, but we just want to make sure you are all over it!  Like in the above example, Russell commenced a Certificate III in Aged Care and a Certificate IV in Aged Care in the 2015 calendar year.  As both qualifications were started in the 2015 calendar year, he could not start any further qualifications.

    You can only have two on the go at any one time. 

    If you have ever had two girlfriends or boyfriends on the go at once, you will know that whilst it is fun, it can get tricky.  You have to keep track of who you said what too!  Like a complex love life requires dedication and commitment, so does studying two qualifications simultaneously.  This is why the Victorian Training Guarantee will only ever allow you to have two qualifications on the go at one time.  This applies even if you qualifications carry over into a new year, and you are eligible to start two more qualifications in the following calendar year. 

    For example, in relation to Russell, he started his Certificate III in Aged Care and a Certificate IV in Aged Care qualifications and they continued into 2016.  In fact, they were not scheduled to finish until July 2016.  So even though Russell wanted to start a new qualification, he had to wait to finish at least one of the Aged Care related qualifications.

    Do I need to repay the funds to the Victorian Government that are provided to Seed Education from the Victorian Training Guarantee?

    No you don’t!  The Government will pay for your Personal Care Mastery Program in the hope you will go on to become a Personal Care Master, who improves the lives of older Australian’s living in residential aged care.  


  • Do you want to know another secret?

  • If you receive a Government Funded position as part of the Victoria Training Guarantee, Seed Education will be paid from the Victorian Government to deliver your training.  Depending on your training plan, Seed Education will receive up to the following:

  • For our young friends....

  • To be completed by all Personal Care Masters aged up to 24 years:

    Since 2009 in schools and since 2011 for vocational education and training (VET) organisations and Adult Community Education providers, a Victorian Student Number (VSN) has been allocated upon enrolment to each individual student aged up to 24 years.

    Students should report their VSN on all subsequent enrolments at a Victorian school or training organisation. In particular, all students who are currently enrolled in either a VET provider or a Victorian school (including those already participating in a VET in schools program) should obtain their VSN from their current education or training organisation and report their VSN on this enrolment form.

    Students who are enrolling for the first time since the VSN was introduced will get a new VSN.

  • The Unique Student Identifier.....

  • What is the Unique Student Identifier?

    A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a reference number made up of numbers and letters that gives students access to their USI account. A USI will allow an individual's USI account to be linked to the National Vocational Education and Training (VET) Data Collection allowing an individual to see all of their training results from all providers including all completed training units and qualifications.

    The USI will make it easier for students to find and collate their VET achievements into a single authenticated transcript. It will also ensure that students' VET records are not lost.

    The USI will be is available online and at no cost to the student. This USI will stay with the student for life and be recorded with any nationally recognised VET course that is completed from when the USI comes into effect on 1 January 2015.

    A student needs a USI when enrolling or re-enrolling in nationally recognised training from 1 January 2015. This includes if the student is enrolling for the first time, for example, if they are studying at TAFE or with a private training organisation, completing an apprenticeship or skill set, certificate or diploma course. It also applies to students continuing or completing (re-enrolling) training, including nationally recognised training undertaken in secondary school.

  • Language, Literacy and Numeracy Skills Assessment - CHC30212 Certificate III in Aged Care

  • Language, literacy and numeracy skills are critical to almost all areas of work. This is particularly true in the Aged Care sector where language, literacy and numeracy skills influence your performance of workplace tasks such as, comprehending written work instructions. The increasing importance of employability skills such as communication and problem solving in the workplace highlights the need for Seed Education to ensure you have adequate language, literacy and numeracy skills.

    To support this Seed Education will:

    -        Assess your language, literacy and numeracy skills during your enrolment to ensure you have adequate skills to complete the course you are enrolling in;

    -        Support you during your study journey with training and assessment materials and strategies that are easily understood and suitable to the level of the workplace skills being delivered;

    -        Provide clear information to you about the detail of the language, literacy and numeracy assistance available;

    -        If necessary, refer you to external language, literacy and numeracy support services that are beyond the support available within Seed Education; and

    -        Negotiate an extension of time to complete training programs if necessary.

    We need you to complete the questions below, so we can determine any assistance that we can offer

    Select the correct word that is missing from the sentence.

  • Section One – Literacy, Reading and Comprehension

  • As a Worker in the community service sector, you must be able to read and write reports accurately. Spelling, grammar and comprehension are therefore important skills to have in this occupation.

    Complete the following questions:

  • Select the most appropriate word to replace the word that is in brackets.

  • Select the correct word

  •  
  •  
  • Read the case study below and answer the questions that follow.  

    A home and Community Assessor is at Mrs. Sangi's home to assess her need for personal care assistance. Mrs. Sangi is 80 years old. Both Mrs. Sangi and her daughter Sunita are present at the assessment. The assessor watches Mrs. Sangi lie down on the bed and then get up again. She does this quite well and safey, but it is safest if someone holds her wheeled walking frame in place for her.

    The assessor talks to Mrs. Sangi about getting undressed. She says she has difficulty lifting her arms over her head and often cannot get her nightgown off easily. She can use her frame to walk to the bathroom but needs assistance to get the water temperature correct, to step into the shower and she also needs reminding to hold the rails inside the shower.

    There is a stool in the shower for her to sit on. She cannot raise her arms to wash her hair properly, but she can wash the rest of her body independently.

    Once she has finished showering, she needs supervision when stepping out of the shower and also needs the bathroom chair in place. The bathroom chair should have one towel draped over the seat and another over the back. She cannot reach to dry her feet properly and cannot dry her hair. Once she is dry, she uses the frame to return to the bedroom and can dress independently if her clothes are laid out on the bed. She needs help to blow-dry and brush her hair. She occasionally needs help to do up zips and buttons that are high on the back, or to do up a necklace.

  • Aged Care Workers can work in a variety of settings as a:

    - Personal Care Workers in an aged care facility; and a

    - Home and Community Care Workers in the community in either:

    - A day setting where the elderly come to a facility or Centre for a day of activities such as crafts and social         activities; or

    - An `in-home' setting where the elderly are assisted in their own home with their daily living activities such as showering, dressing and with medications.

    In these settings, you will be required to work with people who may have communication issues and may be suffering from dementia. The way that you communicate with these people will be important to maintain their dignity, allow them to remain independent and to provide them with the care that they need without upsetting and confusing them.

    The role of an Aged Care Worker can be very demanding and therefore in addition to providing the best care possible, you will also need to protect your own health and wellbeing. Aged Care Workers can run high risk of back injuries. The greatest risk of back injury is when you are lifting, carrying and lowering things.

    Ways to stop injuries when lifting include:

    - Use equipment such as a hoist or trolley designed to carry a person or equipment like wheel chair when residents have to be moved long distance;

    - Lift only as a last resort - the best is NO lifting;

    - Plan the move - think about how you will move a person before you do;

    - Bend your knees;

    - Keep the object close to your body;

    - Work with a partner;

    - Lift in small stages - for example floor to chair, then to table;

    - Wear appropriate clothing and shoes;

    - If you are not sure how to lift any load ask your supervisor;

    Thinking about this information, please read the following scenarios and answer the associated question.

    Scenario One

    You are working in an aged care facility, assisting in the care of several residents, including Mrs Hernandes. While you are in the activities room Mrs Hernandez asks you to help her out of her chair so she can go back to her room. She is insistent that she wants to leave the room immediately. All other carers in your area are busy.

    Mrs Hernandez weighs 70kgs and you weigh 55kgs, so if you do help her, the lifting will involve a high degree of strain on you. You realize that if you decide to help Mrs Hernandez on your own there is a risk that you will hurt your back and also that Mrs Smith may fall and incur an injury.

  • Scenario Two

    Mrs. Spinoza has recently been admitted into the Aged Care facility where you work. Her Care Plan sets out the detail of her personal and medical history, and how any issues will be managed. You notice that Mrs. Spinoza's Care Plan states that she is Italian and that she speak few words of English

    From your contact with Mrs. Spinoza you realize that she has few visitors, and that communication is very difficult between her and the staff providing care.

    Mrs. Spinoza rarely leaves her room to mix with the other residents, and when she does she does not talk with anyone. You often see her crying, and she can get aggressive when you try to assist her with personal care (showering, dressing and toileting).

    From your observations she seems isolated, confused, scared and lonely in her new environment. You provide this feedback to your supervisor and other carers agree with your thoughts. Together with your supervisor you organize a visit by an Italian interpreter that the facility has access to. From the discussion held through the interpreter you are able to reassure Mrs. Spinoza that the carers are there to support her everyday needs, and that she has access to various activities at the facility.

    You also agree on the use of several simple picture to help communicate when daily activities such as meal times and therapy activities are happening. You also explain the use of a weekly `calendar of event and activities' that the facility provides resident. You discover that Mrs. Spinoza's favourite pastime is indoor bowls, and you talk about how to read those words on the calendar so that she can attend that activity.

    You also start to learn from Mrs. Spinoza and interpret some simple phrase of welcome in Italian that will help Mrs. Spinoza feel more at ease in the facility.

  •  
  •  
  • Scenario Three

    Mr. and Mrs. Brown are under your care and you visit them once a week in their home to assist Mrs. Brown care for her husband. He is suffering from mild dementia and you know from reading Mr. Brown's Care Plan that he has troube remembering names, appointments and events such as birthdays.

    To help in this situation, every time you visit Mr. Brown you make sure that you introduce yourself and mention the purpose of your visit. You also wear a nametag with your picture and information on the organization you represent.

    During a visit Mrs. Brown mentions that she is frustrated by Mr. Brown's inability to remember things. You discuss some strategies that may assist the Brown's daily organization, such as leaving a list of things to do on the fridge and circling important dates on a large calendar. You also offer Mrs. Brown support and encouragement to remain patient in her role as a carer.

  • WHAT IS A LEARNING STYLE?

    Learning styles are simply different approaches or ways of learning

    WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF LEARNING STYLES?

    VISUAL LEARNERS

    Learn through seeing...  These learners need to see the teacher’s body language and facial expression to fully understand the content of a lesson. They tend to prefer sitting at the front of the classroom to avoid visual obstructions (e.g. people’s heads). They may think in pictures and learn best from visual displays including: diagrams, illustrated textbooks, overhead transparencies, videos, flipcharts and handouts. During a lecture or classroom discussion, visual learners of prefer to take detailed notes to absorb the information.

    AUDITORY LEARNERS


    Learn through listening...  They learn best through verbal lectures, discussions, talking things through and listening to what others have to say. Auditory learners interpret the underlying meanings of speech through listening to tone of voice, pitch, speed and other nuances. Written information may have little meaning until it is heard. These learners often benefit from reading text aloud and using a tape recorder.

    TACTILE or KINAESTHETIC LEARNERS


    Learn through moving, doing and touching...  Tactile or Kinaesthetic learners learn best through a hands-on approach, actively exploring the physical world around them. They may find it hard to sit still for long periods and may become distracted by their need for activity and exploration

  • Language, Literacy and Numeracy Skills Assessment - CHC40108 Certificate IV in Aged Care

  • Language, literacy and numeracy skills are critical to almost all areas of work. This is particularly true in the Aged Care sector where language, literacy and numeracy skills influence your performance of workplace tasks such as, comprehending written work instructions. The increasing importance of employability skills such as communication and problem solving in the workplace highlights the need for Seed Education to ensure you have adequate language, literacy and numeracy skills.

    To support this Seed Education will:

    -        Assess your language, literacy and numeracy skills during your enrolment to ensure you have adequate skills to complete the course you are enrolling in;

    -        Support you during your study journey with training and assessment materials and strategies that are easily understood and suitable to the level of the workplace skills being delivered;

    -        Provide clear information to you about the detail of the language, literacy and numeracy assistance available;

    -        If necessary, refer you to external language, literacy and numeracy support services that are beyond the support available within Seed Education; and

    -        Negotiate an extension of time to complete training programs if necessary.

    We need you to complete the questions below, so we can determine any assistance that we can offer you.

    Section One – Oral communication and learning

    As a Worker in the community service sector, you must be able to read and write reports accurately. Spelling, grammar and comprehension are therefore important skills to have in this occupation.

    Complete the following questions:

  • You are the Manager of Special Projects at an Aged Care Facility. You have a Project Manager reporting to you

    A project that you allocated to the Project Manager looks like it’s not going to be completed by the deadline. The project manager takes actions to try to put it back on track. Later that week she calls a project meeting of all supervisors and key players to create a strategy to keep the project running on schedule. 

    The week after the project meeting she is going to have a meeting with you. You have a concern that the project is not going to be completed. You’re not clear what strategy she put in place with all the supervisors and key players.  

  • In terms of definition, ‘prevention’ usually refers to activities aimed at stopping a problem from commencing. ‘Early intervention’ relates to activities targeted at problems that are already evident with the aim of stopping their further development as early as possible. The distinction between the two terms is relevant to the stage of problem development, rather than age of the person or length of time the person has been known to a particular facility. 

    Within the aged care sector, ‘prevention’ is also used to refer to activities which aim to avoid the need for more intrusive or intensive interventions - for example, providing supervised activities for the elderly as a diversion from risk taking behaviour.

    These activities can be undertaken with elderly people already experiencing significant issues in other areas of their life (i.e. those which have not been prevented), or in anticipation of issues that they may be at future risk of developing (i.e. those which may still be prevented, such as falls or infections). Identifying and responding to risk factors is intended as an early intervention strategy to inhibit future problem development.  

  • The annual Australian Community Sector Survey (ACSS) of community services across Australia has reported a number of key findings. One of the focuses of this survey is the extent to which the GFC (Global Financial Crisis) has impacted the community sector and the people who access the services offered by community organisations. One of the key findings of the report is as follows:

    ‘Despite areas of increased spending to assist those worst affected by the GFC (Global Financial Crisis), community welfare organisations struggled to meet the increased demand for assistance experienced during and after the crisis. Welfare agencies reported increased demand for services across the board, with emergency relief providers noting a marked increase in the numbers of people requesting assistance for the first time, including employed people on low fixed incomes and those struggling to meet mortgage repayments and other housing costs’.

    Alongside the increase in the client numbers seeking services, there was also an increase in the complexity of client needs. 

    As more complex needs typically require more time and resource-intensive services, this may have contributed to fewer clients being serviced, while at the same time resulting in a heightening of demand and increased number of people being turned away.  This placed added stress on organisations, and underscores the need for government programs and policies (including funding models) that better support holistic service delivery and coordination.

    As a result of people being turned away, many people are unable to access essential social assistance or support – a situation which ultimately risks reinforcing and compounding the extent and complexity of social disadvantages

  • The annual Australian Community Sector Survey (ACSS) of community services across Australia was conducted throughout November/December 2010 and covers the period from 1 July 2009–30 June 2010. A total of 745 agencies completed the survey, responding on issues relating to service provision, income and expenditure, operational, policy, and workforce issues for the community services sector.  

    The data in this chart represents the number of survey returns by state and territories. Using the data in the pie chart, answer the questions below.
