{The main difference lies in the level of responsibility and the job outcomes each course supports. The Certificate III in Individual Support is an entry-level course, perfect for those starting out who want to work directly with clients by assisting them with daily activities in their homes or local communities. The Certificate IV in Disability is more advanced and suited to people aiming for leadership roles, such as Team Leader or Support Coordinator, helping individuals with disability live more independently.|These two qualifications differ in terms of role preparation and responsibility. Certificate III in Individual Support is an introductory course ideal for those new to the sector, focusing on practical support with everyday tasks at home or in community settings. Certificate IV in Disability is a higher-level course, best suited for those seeking leadership positions like Support Coordinator or Team Leader, supporting people with disability to achieve greater independence.|Certificate III in Individual Support provides foundational training for new entrants into the sector, focusing on hands-on roles where you assist with daily living in homes or communities. In contrast, Certificate IV in Disability prepares students for more senior roles, including Support Coordinator or Team Leader, with a focus on enabling people with disability to live more independently.|The difference comes down to role expectations and career progression.
