About
The Graduate Certificate in Disability is developed in line with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) practice standards and quality indicators and grounded in the international human rights framework of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and its expression in Australia’s National Disability Strategy.
Throughout this program, students will gain an understanding of the diverse experiences, needs and perspectives of people with disabilities, and learn contemporary case-management and person- centred approaches to service delivery for careers in the disability or health and human service-related sectors.
Embedded within these units is a Christian world view that is also inclusive and respectful of other faiths, which emphasises and recognises the distinctively caring and pastoral nature of disability care and support. This course has been designed to provide a comprehensive learning experience and flexibility to study online whilst continuing to work.
Areas of study include disability studies, people, policy and practice, person-centred support.
Upon completion of this course you could work in the disability or health and human service-related sectors.
