i Assessment information
Information about how you should complete this assessment can be found in your Community Services Works Student User Guide.
Complete the following activities:
Carefully read the following information.
Successful completion of this assessment task requires you to demonstrate that you have facilitated the empowerment of two people with disability. It is important that you provide evidence that you have completed this requirement and we have provided you with a Portfolio Template to help you.
You will collect most of your evidence and complete portfolio documentation during the work placement phase of your course. You may also complete some of your portfolio in the classroom. The rest can be completed in the classroom after your work placement is finished.
Your assessor will visit you in the workplace to observe certain aspects of this assessment and your workplace supervisor will also provide feedback.
Before you begin this task, meet with your workplace supervisor to discuss the two people who will be most suitable for you to work with to complete this assessment task. Keep in mind that the privacy and dignity of the people in your care are essential. There will be requirements around informed consent from these people and, in some cases their family and/or significant others and your work placement organisation. Your workplace supervisor and assessor will guide you in relation to your informed consent requirements.
The skills and knowledge that you are required to demonstrate in relation to your work with the two people with disability are all included in your portfolio so look at this in detail before you begin your work placement.
In addition to identifying two people to work with, you will require access to all the necessary facilities, equipment and resources to complete this task. You will also require access to the individualised plans for each person and to your workplaces policies and procedures.
Remember, it is important to keep the privacy and confidentiality of the individuals you work with as high priority. Therefore, you must deidentify the people who you work with according to your organisations policies and procedures. If you are unsure about how to do this, speak to your assessor or workplace supervisor.
Tips for completing your portfolio
Read through this assessment and your Portfolio Template before you get started and make sure you understand what you need to do. If you are unsure, speak to your assessor and/or workplace supervisor.
Stay up to date! Complete your portfolio entries as you go and ask your supervisor to do the same. Providing organised, complete evidence forms part of your assessment.
Stay in touch with your assessor. Ask questions, raise issues, check in, communicate.
Most importantly, ask for help if you are having trouble!
Important note: If you have permission to make copies of the following documents, include these as part of your evidence by attaching them at the end of the portfolio. If you are not allowed to remove any workplace documentation from your workplace, then your assessor will be required to look at these documents when they visit you in the workplace.
You must make sure you receive permission to include any documents from your workplace and all private information must be redacted:
relevant sections of each persons individual support plan/case management plan
complaints management policies and procedures
If you are unsure ask your supervisor!
Complete your portfolio.
Use the Portfolio Template to collect evidence for this assessment during your work placement period.
There are four sections of your portfolio that need to be completed:
Section 1 Student evidence
In this section you are required to complete reflections after you have worked with the two individuals. Make sure you read through the requirements of your portfolio before you work with the two people so you know what you need to do.
Section 2 Assessor observation and verbal questions
In Section 2, your assessor will visit you in the workplace and complete this section of your portfolio. Take a look at what the assessor will be looking for prior to the observation. They will also pose some scenarios to you as part of the verbal questioning section.
Section 3 Supervisor report
In Section 3, your workplace supervisor will complete a report summarising your performance while working with the two individuals. Ask them to complete the report only after you have completed Section 1.
Section 4 Critical reflection
In Section 4, you will reflect on your work placement and answer some questions.
Submit your completed portfolio.
Once you have completed all parts of your portfolio, had your workplace visit from your assessor and had your supervisor fill out the relevant sections required of them in the portfolio, you are ready to submit it to your assessor. Ensure all sections are completed neatly and clearly, all supporting evidence is attached (or available onsite to the assessor) and it has been deidentified to protect the privacy of the people you worked with.

Work placement informationWork placement provides you with an opportunity to learn and be assessed in a hands-on real-life industry environment. Learning in the classroom is important, and you will engage in lots of classroom discussion, practice and be involved in demonstrations and simulations before you are ready for your work placement but gaining practical experience during your work placement hours provides you with the opportunity to put your new-found knowledge into practice and provides you with an appropriate environment to be assessed in. It also provides you with opportunities to observe qualified and experienced aged care support workers and allows you to learn while under the close supervision and guidance of a workplace supervisor and mentor.
You will not be paid for your work placement as it forms part of your training and assessment for this qualification.
ResponsibilitiesYou are always expected to comply with all of your work placement's policies and procedures for their staff members and follow your supervisor's instructions. You will receive the required information about working hours, dress requirements and specific guidelines from your work placement before you begin and will sign a work placement agreement prior to starting. If you're unsure of anything then speak to your trainer/assessor and ask questions when the placement arrangements are being made. You may undertake more than one placement at a different facility this will all be arranged with your trainer/assessor and made clear to you during this time.
Your work placement supervisor will arrange an induction for you where the expectations will be outlined and the limitations of what you are able to do while you are at your work placement.
Evidence collectionIn this section, the details of the evidence you need to collect are outlined along with instructions about what you need to do.
