Admission criteria
At a minimum the applicant needs to have a TAFE Diploma (or alternatively a bachelor's degree), since it is anticipated the Grad Cert articulates with the Masters. The area of study in the prior qualification should be broad as it was intended that the Grad Cert would be particularly targeted to those people working in aged care but not necessarily in hands-on care, e.g. hostel managers who might have a qualification in business administration. People working with older people in other professions may choose two other subjects relevant to that profession as the final two subjects in the Grad Cert.
