This is a nationally approved vocational course that is recognised throughout Australia.

Students collaborated with Kara House women's crisis accommodation to create an impactful website which could easily be updated. The Kara House site clearly sets out a range of support services for women and children in abusive relationships, encourages them to seek help and offers respite. It also contains important educational information about domestic violence. As a result of our industry engagement with Kara House, this project won the 2018 PAVE Deputy Vice-Chancellor's Excellence Award.
