Course Description

The purpose of this course is to equip aged care and disability support workers with the knowledge and practical skills to recognise, respond to, and manage cardiovascular health needs among participants. Cardiovascular conditions are among the most common and serious health issues affecting older people and individuals living with disability. Poorly managed heart health can lead to medical emergencies, hospitalisations, and a reduced quality of life.

This course focuses on safe, person-centred strategies that align with NDIS Practice Standards and Australian healthcare guidelines. Learners will develop confidence in identifying early warning signs, supporting lifestyle adjustments, assisting with medication management, and applying emergency responses where necessary. 

Course Outcomes

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

  1. Define and explain cardiovascular health by describing the structure and function of the heart, blood vessels, and circulation in clear and practical terms.
  2. Identify common cardiovascular conditions and risk factors relevant to aged and disability care, including hypertension, heart failure, arrhythmias, and post-stroke impacts.
  3. Apply safe, person-centred care strategies to monitor participants’ cardiovascular health, assist with medication management, and promote lifestyle practices that support wellbeing.
  4. Recognise and respond to cardiovascular emergencies such as chest pain, cardiac arrest, and stroke, following correct workplace procedures and escalation protocols.
  5. Align practice with compliance requirements by demonstrating knowledge of NDIS Practice Standards, Australian clinical guidelines, and organisational duty of care obligations.
