Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has had to do extra study related to their employment in Australia. In order to receive a promotion my work has asked me to do a diploma in leisure and health. It looks interesting but is around $10k before RPL. Any advice on courses would be appreciated.

Hi Carolyn
This would be a good question to ask on the Golden Carers Facebook group

Really? I did mine because I wanted to and still get the same money...lol. I did mine through DP training in Queensland and with RPL it cost me $69. Hope this helps

I just LOVE the multicultural section of this fabulous website. I work as a Activities Director at a day service facility and we are currently closed due to COVID! I am mailing/delivering personalized packages to our clients. We have clients of many different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Adding pages of color-printed information from their country really brightens their day. The family members/care givers are delighted to see a spark in their loved ones eyes when they see and read about their history. I am becoming so educated myself learning all this. It will help me when we get back to work striking a spark in our clients eye when I reminisce with them about their culture. I seriously can NOT get enough of this fantastic site. xoxo :-)
