At TAFE SA, we strive to make our education programs as inclusive as possible to ensure students can access the opportunities and guidance they need to get the best possible learning and career outcomes.
An estimated 6,000 new full-time jobs will be needed over the next few years in health and disability, with the recent rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) significantly increasing demand for qualified carers.
