Could you play a role in helping migrants and refugees feel welcome and integrated into Australian society?
Perhaps you work in a social service setting or a community group where these skills would benefit your professional development. If so, the Certificate of Migrant and Refugee Support is an online program that will provide you with the knowledge and skills required to work with and for refugees within an ethical, social, political and economic context.
This online course will enable you to work directly or indirectly with forced migrants, who are defined as people with Refugee or Special Humanitarian visas, those granted refugee status in Australia, business and skilled migrants whose prime motivation for leaving their country was to escape violence and/or persecution, and the immediate family members these groups.
On completion of this course, you will be qualified and feel confident to support new arrivals to Australia, helping them adjust to a new culture and society. The course competencies will involve the development, monitoring and provision of support and services in a range of areas including but not limited to settlement, accommodation, counselling, financial advice, family services, youth work, income support, education, health care and crisis intervention.
Printed learning materials are available for purchase for this course and can be ordered during enrolment.
