09.01.2022 "I recently completed my Diploma of Community Services at Australis College and couldn’t be happier. Australis College offers such an incredibly professional and warm environment to their students. All the staff are welcoming and were helpful from the day I first started the course right through to the end. I never felt uneasy when I had to call them or send them an email if I was stuck when working on an assignment they were so encouraging and supportive at all times. They... were also very quick at marking my assessments, I would usually have an assessment marked and back to me within a few days! I am so grateful to all the staff who I dealt with over the last 18 months whilst doing the course, even the reception girls were all lovely. The trainers are amazing people and I am glad that they were able to help me through the course. I would definitely recommend Australis College to anyone considering studying a course."
