I have been working as an activities officer now for 20 years. Also taking care of our facially when we have no D.T. I was asked to step in to her shoes many times over. I do not have my cert as D.T can anyone help with this. Or just a cert as A.O. Looking forward to your response.

I didn't think DT's were around anymore?
Certificate 4 in Leisure & Lifestyle is what you are looking for (in Victoria anyway). Im halfway through my Diploma in Leisure & Health at the moment ... to go further is to go to uni and do the DT course

The Diversional Therapy Course has been replaced with Lifestyle & Leisure .Cert 4 and diploma available. Although cert 3 Agedcare incorporates Lifestyle & Leisure Known as Cert 3 health & Leisure . The Diversional therapy association still exists although only recognises certificates obtained through certain providers .

I did your DIY bingo game using the names of residents who play bingo and all the names of the staff; both first and last names. My residents love it! They are learning everyones names and enjoy it so much when their name is called! I love Golden Carers.

I just love love love this site - each time I'm glued to the many and awesome ideas to engage with our seniors. I recently downloaded some of the crossword puzzles and these seniors are fabulous to work with. That is just the tip of the iceberg. In this new chapter of my life, as semi-retired, I am so enjoying my time with seniors and watching them light up; I feel I've found a new niche. It's extremely gratifying. As to the cost of membership, it came out of my pocket - I rationalised that it was only about $3/month, less than many magazines. So keep up the GREAT work!!! Thanks again Golden Carers!!!!!
