Disability team leaders often need to earn more advanced qualifications and/or have more experience in the support industry than other disability team workers. This position will often require a Certificate IV in Disability. This qualification can take around 12 months to complete depending on study mode (online, on campus or a blend of both) and whether you are studying full or part time. Enrollees must also fulfil a work placement requirement to complete this certificate. Qualifications in Individual Support or other support studies that specialise in Aged and Disability Support can be helpful, though each disability team leader role will have different requirements.
