PCA, support worker, aged care and disability jobs we help with
Care work in Melbourne comes under a few different names. These are the roles our Job-ready program prepares you for.
Personal care assistant (PCA)
Helping older people in aged-care homes with showering, dressing, meals and moving safely, and keeping them company. Often called PCA, personal care worker or assistant in nursing.
Disability support worker (NDIS)
Supporting people with disability at home, in shared houses (SIL) and out in the community, so they can live the way they choose. Funded through the NDIS.
Aged care and home care worker
Visiting older people at home to help with personal care, cleaning, shopping and appointments, so they can keep living independently.
Community support worker
Taking people to activities, work, appointments and social outings. A driver licence and a car often open many more shifts.
Overnight and sleepover shifts
Active nights and sleepovers in group homes and SIL houses. Useful if you study or work during the day.
What you need to work as a support worker in Victoria
Employers check these before your first shift. When you join, your portal turns this list into your own checklist: upload each one and watch your profile reach 100%.
- Certificate III or IV in Individual Support (ageing, disability or home and community care)The qualification most employers ask for. Related qualifications such as nursing or allied health often count too.
- NDIS Worker Screening CheckNeeded before you can work in most NDIS roles. In Victoria you apply through Service Victoria, and it can take a few weeks, so start early.
- Working with Children Check (WWCC)Many employers ask for it, even for adult services. The employee card is free in Victoria.
- National Police CheckUsually less than 12 months old.
- First Aid and CPR (HLTAID011)CPR has to be renewed every 12 months.
- NDIS Worker Orientation Module and New Worker Induction ModuleFree online courses from the NDIS Commission, with a certificate at the end. Open the free modules
- Infection prevention and control trainingA short, free online course. Aged-care employers usually ask for it.
- Resume and cover letterWritten the way Australian care employers expect. We help you with both, free.

International students welcome
Many of the people we help into aged care and disability work are international students. Shifts are often casual (mornings, evenings, weekends, sleepovers), so care work can fit around classes.
Your visa decides how many hours you may work. Check your own work conditions on VEVO and keep within them. We do not give visa advice; for study and visa questions see the OneCall Education hub or a registered migration agent.
No Cert III yet?
You can still join today and start on the checks, the free NDIS modules and your resume while you study.
If you already have years of genuine care experience, here or overseas, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) through a registered training organisation may be an option. It is never a shortcut: the training organisation assesses real experience.

OneCall Jobs is free. OneCall is not an employer or a recruitment agency and cannot promise anyone a job: we help you get ready and put you forward to employers we work with, and the employer decides who they hire.
