Get started as a Personal Carer with a Certificate III in Individual Support — and if you are working with the elderly or disabled you might also consider additional VET qualifications in those areas. They take 6-12 months to complete. You will also need a current first aid and CPR certificate, and you might also require an up-to-date influenza vaccination.
