Delivering skills for tomorrow's community services and health industries, today.
The Community Services & Health Industry Skills Council (ISC) is the only national and ministerially recognised advisory body whose role in skills recognition and development embraces the full range of both community services and health sectors across Australia. It is essentially the eyes and ears of the entire Community Services and Health industries. The ISC has a commitment to developing high quality industry training opportunities within the VET (Vocational Education and Training) system. As the architect of national training packages that enables workers in the CS&H industries to perform their jobs to the best of their abilities, the ISC sets benchmarks not only for vocational workers but all workers in the industries.

We’ll provide you with a forum in which you can promote your key points of difference, and show how you are helping to develop, grow and make changes to improve our industries. The ISC partners our skills with yours, enabling a much stronger and robust community services and health sector to grow.
“Thank you for all your work at the conference. It was a great credit to you and the team that all went so smoothly.”
