Diploma of Community Services

The Diploma of Community Services is a qualification has been contextualized by the Centre for Disability Studies (CDS) with a specific focus on person-centered practice in the disability sector. It is developed based on the values of inclusion, and on John O’Brien’s five valued experiences – community participation, promoting choice, supporting contribution, encouraging valued social roles and community presence.

This diploma was contextualized due to changes in contemporary disability service delivery and the demand for practitioners in the disability field to be fully trained and equipped to deliver person-centered services.

This qualification reflects the roles of community services, case management and social housing workers involved in the managing, coordinating and/or delivering of person-centered services to individuals, groups and communities.

At this level, workers have specialized skills in community services and work autonomously under broad directions from senior management. Workers are usually providing direct support to individuals or groups of individuals. Workers may also have responsibility for the supervision of other workers and volunteers and/or case management; program coordination or the development of new business opportunities.
