This course gives students the high-level skills needed for a role with a community organisation. Learners will gain high-level communication skills, and the ability to develop strategies to work with at-risk groups within the community. Learners will also gain valuable research skills and be taught how to work within legal and ethical frameworks.
In addition to the standard diploma eligibility requirements for a fee subsidy, students must also be an existing worker in the community services and health industry, which includes parents and unpaid carers of NDIS participants. Applicants offered a place in this course who are not eligible for a subsidised enrolment will pay full fee. VET Student Loans may be available to eligible applicants, refer to tafeqld.edu.au/study-with-us/what-it-costs/index.html for information.
The Diploma of Community Services can be combined with other programs as listed below to attain the awards of Diploma of Community from TAFE Queensland and the relevant degree from the university. Students undertake initial study at TAFE Queensland and complete the degree at the relevant university. Duration, location, mode of study, semester intake, electives and specialisations may vary. All mandatory university admission and English language requirements must be met before university enrolment is finalised. For more information contact the relevant university. Note: TAFE Queensland students making transition to the degree may need to wait six months to start with the semester one university intake.
To apply for a combined diploma/degree, applicants must select the Diploma of Community Services for the relevant TAFE Queensland location on their application and nominate their preferred degree/university (one only). Applicants can list the stand alone diploma or the combined program but not both. Listing more than one is not needed because they have the same eligibility and ATAR/rank requirements.
