Why Study Leisure and Health?
This course is designed for workers who are involved in the design, implementation and evaluation of leisure and health activities and programs for clients in the aged care and disability sectors.
It is generally considered as an entry level qualification and is ideal for those interested in a formal qualification to start a career in diversional therapy or community leisure and recreational activities.
Leisure and Health is a vital part of the broader health care sector. Participating in recreational activities is a wonderful way for older people to engage, interact, learn and maintain a level of enjoyment for life.
Once you graduate you are qualified to take up a role as a:
- Recreational Activities Officer
- Diversional Therapy Assistant
- Community Leisure Officer
- Community Recreation Activity Assistant
You will not only gain a nationally recognised qualification but also make a real difference to the lives of others.
Who is this course for?
This course is for:
- People who do not have any experience in leisure and health activities but are interested in something outside the normal care type roles within the aged care sector
- People currently working in a leisure and health related position who do not hold a formal qualification
This course is made up of 17 Units: 10 Core Units and 7 Elective Units.
It is structured and delivered through a mix of online and workplace-based activities.
