The Graduate Certificate in Social and Community Services is designed for community and human services professionals looking to advance their careers or those seeking a new career in this growing sector.

You will learn theories and practice frameworks that underpin community service work and develop skills to undertake complex case work, group work and social advocacy.

This course provides you with the skills to work in a broad range of human services settings including government, non-government welfare organisation and community groups.
