Hi there I already have my qualification in Cert IV in Leisure and Lifestyle in 2009 and now I'm thinking of doing the Diploma in Leisure and Health. Can someone please tell me what this higher qualification offers in the way of employment? Is it worth doing or would the Degree in Diversional Therapy be better?

I just LOVE the multicultural section of this fabulous website. I work as a Activities Director at a day service facility and we are currently closed due to COVID! I am mailing/delivering personalized packages to our clients. We have clients of many different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Adding pages of color-printed information from their country really brightens their day. The family members/care givers are delighted to see a spark in their loved ones eyes when they see and read about their history. I am becoming so educated myself learning all this. It will help me when we get back to work striking a spark in our clients eye when I reminisce with them about their culture. I seriously can NOT get enough of this fantastic site. xoxo :-)
