Summary
After completing a Certificate III in Individual Support at the Australian Wide Training Institute (AWTI), including 120 hours of placement at BallyCara Retirement Village in Scarborough, Queensland, I have been proudly working at BallyCara for almost two years now. This journey has deepened my passion for providing compassionate and quality care, particularly to elderly individuals and those in palliative care.
During my placement, I received extensive hands-on training in manual handling techniques, including the safe use of hoists and proper hand placements to prevent injuries and protect residents with fragile health. I gained expertise in personal care tasks such as assisting with bathing, dressing, and attending to individuals with sensitive skin. I also developed skills in respectfully managing agitation in residents, maintaining their dignity and comfort. My documentation experience included detailed reporting on resident care to the respective supervisors and or the Registered Nurses on duty, skin condition monitoring, pad changes, and so forth.
Additionally, I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Therapy, a five-year program that included clinical internships across rehabilitation centres in Iloilo City, Philippines. This experience gave me a broad foundation in physical rehabilitation and further honed my empathy and dedication to supporting individuals in regaining their functional independence.
I am eager to continue learning and growing in this field, leveraging my practical experience, academic background, and passion for care to provide exceptional service in aged care.
