CHC33021 requires 6 elective units. Parents can select Elective Group A (Ageing) units like CHCAGE011 Provide support to people living with dementia, or Elective Group B (Disability) units like CHCDIS013 Assist with communication using augmentative and alternative communication methods. Some RTOs offer blended specialisations combining both streams. Elective selection determines alignment with NDIS support roles or aged care sector requirements.
