Career Boost funding may help reduce your course cost.

Horizon2 is listed as a funded provider for CHC40321 and CHC50325 under Queensland’s Career Boost program. The team can check the current rules against your circumstances.

Funding is conditional—not automatic. Eligibility, available subsidies, co-contribution fees and delivery arrangements must be confirmed before enrolment.

What the work actually asks of you.

This field is about skilled, ethical support—not simply wanting to help. Training develops the judgement and structured practice needed around vulnerable children, young people and families.

  1. Recognise and respond to risk

    Understand safety responsibilities, identify concerns and work within organisational and legal procedures.

  2. Build purposeful support relationships

    Communicate respectfully, maintain professional boundaries and work in ways that centre the person receiving support.

  3. Work with families and support networks

    Contribute to intervention approaches that consider family context, strengths, culture and available services.

  4. Plan, document and coordinate

    Use accurate records, structured plans and collaboration to support continuity and accountable practice.

  5. Practise cultural safety

    Work respectfully with diverse communities and recognise the importance of identity, culture and lived experience.

Study around the life you already have.
