Working in aged care is a truly rewarding and enriching experience that can make a significant difference to elderly individuals, their families, and society.

Many Australians aspire to sustain their independent lifestyle in their own homes for as long as practicable. As an aged care worker, you can contribute significantly to fulfilling this aspiration.

Aged care services can comprise both long and short-term support within an individual’s home. For some, there might be a necessity for full-time care in a residential care home or facility, which can be greatly beneficial to the individuals and their families.

More than one million people in Australia were provided care between 2019 and 2020, reflecting the significant size of the elderly population. This involved a variety of services and roles. For example, approximately 840,000 people gained home support through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme, and approximately 245, 000 people received care as permanent residents in aged care facilities.

Given the rise in the population aged sixty-five and above, there is a significant demand for support workers. In 2020, the Commonwealth Home Support Programme had 76,096 employees, and the Residential Aged Care sector had 277,671. Considering the number of elderly people requiring care against the number of workers, the high demand for support workers becomes evident.
