Health & community services RPL pathways
Your day-to-day care and support work can help shape a conversation about further qualifications. Start with your actual responsibilities, supervision and work setting.
Is this the right area for you?
Experienced support workers, community workers and healthcare assistants can explore whether their current duties align with a relevant qualification. A course title alone does not establish that someone is ready for clinical work.
What to prepare for a conversation
- A current role description and employment history
- Supervisor references explaining the duties you perform
- Relevant training records and professional development
- De-identified work examples approved for sharing by your workplace
