Stepping out of the classroom and into the real world!🚘 🎯

Our Certificate III in Individual Support students recently took part in a hands-on training session focused on safely transferring patients into vehicles.

Led by our experienced trainer, Chris, this practical session gave everyone the opportunity to learn and apply safe manual handling techniques, use appropriate equipment, and understand the importance of maintaining patient comfort, dignity, and safety throughout the transfer process.

This type of training is exactly how our students build the confidence and skills they need to deliver high-quality care and support.

We loved seeing their incredible energy and empathy during the session, and we’re very proud of the professionalism this group brings to the future of community care.

If you want to upskill, gain hands-on experience, and make a real difference in your community, we’re here to help you take the next step.
