Do you enjoy helping others feel happier and more connected? The Certificate IV in Leisure and Health might be perfect for you.
This course prepares you to design, plan, and deliver leisure and health activities. These activities aim to improve the well-being of individuals in care. You may work in aged care homes, community centres, or day programs.
You’ll learn how to support people through creative and fun activities. For example, you might organise games, art sessions, group outings, or gentle exercises. These programs promote social connection, mental health, and physical wellness.
In addition, you’ll gain skills in planning, teamwork, and communication. You will also learn how to evaluate each activity’s impact on clients.
To complete the qualification, you must do at least 120 hours of work placement. This hands-on training gives you practical experience and boosts your confidence.
