Why Study in Community Service?
Community Service is one of the fastest growing industry areas in Australia. The community services sector includes services provided by a broad range of national, state, and territory governments, and non-government agencies (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, Australian Government, 'Community Services Sector', 2019).
Working in community services is extremely rewarding and allows you to support local communities by caring for a diverse range of people in different life situations.
This qualification reflects the role of entry-level community services workers who support individuals through the provision of person-centred services. Work may include day-to-day support of individuals in community settings or support the implementation of specific community-based programs.
Studying one of our community services courses online is ideal if you are looking for a broad qualification in community services. Once you graduate, you can choose to specialise in a particular area such as case management, disability or mental health. You will not only gain a nationally recognised qualification but also make a real difference in the lives of others.

- people interested in working in a job role within a community services organisation
- People with experience in the industry but do not hold any formal qualifications and wish to upgrade their skills and knowledge into a new or existing industry sector.
