CHC Community Services Updates

Australia’s Community Services training packages are evolving, with significant updates underway across Early Childhood Education and Care, Aged Care, Disability, Leisure and Health qualifications. Led by HumanAbility, these reviews are designed to ensure qualifications better reflect current workforce expectations, regulatory requirements and the increasingly complex roles of care and support professionals.  

At Cengage, we’re here to support you through every stage of this transition. Our expert author team is already developing updated content and assessment solutions aligned to the new training packages, ensuring you have access to high-quality, compliant resources before the teach out period ends. Alongside this, our dedicated Learning Consultants are available to work with you to help plan and implement a smooth transition for both trainers and students. 

Here you’ll find the resources and information to begin.
