Client Mobility, Transfer Safety and Manual Task Risk Management for Rural Support Worker–Capability Verification
Manual Handling
Safe client mobility involves far more than learning transfer techniques. Support workers must be able to recognise hazards, assess changing conditions and make decisions that protect both themselves and the people they support. This course explores transfer safety, movement assistance, mobility equipment, environmental risks, dynamic risk assessment and injury prevention within disability support, aged care and community services environments. Participants will learn how to identify risks before movement occurs, respond appropriately when conditions change and apply practical strategies that support safer outcomes, workforce sustainability and long-term physical wellbeing.
