10 cp
Prerequisites Nil
Teaching Organisation Each semester is twelve weeks in length and is taught by distance education.

For those people in our community who have physical or multiple disabilities, an independent lifestyle may depend upon receiving appropriate support to complete the many daily duties common to us all. These duties may include getting out of bed, toileting, showering, dressing and eating. When completed efficiently and skilfully, support in these areas become secondary to what an individual plans to achieve in a day, whether it be work, leisure, recreation or community involvement. This unit provides students with information on how best to provide personal care assistance and an opportunity to demonstrate their skill in assisting the people they support.
