Manual Handling (Personal Care Workers)

Overview

At Queen of Hearts Training, we deliver Manual Handling Training for NDIS providers, support workers, disability carers, aged care staff, and healthcare teams across the Sunshine Coast – from Gympie to Caloundra, including Noosa, the Hinterland, and surrounding areas.

Manual handling is a core competency for anyone providing direct care. Incorrect techniques can lead to serious injury, chronic pain, or workplace incidents—for both staff and the people they support. This course equips participants with the knowledge and skills to move and handle people safely, reduce risks, and comply with workplace health and safety requirements.

What You’ll Learn:

• Principles of safe manual handling and ergonomics

• Risk assessment and injury prevention strategies

• Correct techniques for lifting, transferring, and repositioning

• Safe use of mobility aids and equipment (hoists, slide sheets, transfer belts)

• Protecting your own health and safety at work

• Supporting people with dignity and person-centred care

• Documentation and reporting for compliance and incident management
