No, it’s a non-accredited course. You’ll receive a Certificate of Completion.

Who is this course for?

No. Prior healthcare or support work experience is not required. The course is suitable for new and existing workers entering NDIS, disability support, aged care and home care roles.

Do you offer this training for a whole team or organisation?
Yes. We can arrange group enrolment for NDIS providers and care organisations — contact us for details.
What should I do if I’m unsure about a specific injection situation?
Always follow your employer’s policies and the participant’s individual plan, and consult a registered nurse or the participant’s healthcare provider if you’re ever unsure.
