Choosing optional units Optional units within the HSC Diplomas are designed to be combined in flexible ways to reflect the real working context of different learners. When planning the units best suited to an individual learner, all units should be considered by title and content regardless of their unit prefix/reference number. Prefixes may suggest a particular context but the unit itself may have wider application, eg LD 314 Support individuals with self-directed support applies across the sector and not only to those supporting people who have a learning disability. Or units with the general HSC prefix may have a very specific context, eg HSC 3055 Identify the physical health needs of individuals with mental health needs and plan appropriate actions The full range of optional units should therefore be considered for all learners
