Picture yourself in a job that’s both varied and fulfilling. Aged care offers the opportunity to support others and make a genuine impact every day.
Aged care offers a fulfilling career where you can make a real difference to older individuals, their families, and society. It’s a role that allows you to be part of their journey later in life.
Across Australia, more than 450,000 aged care professionals work in various settings—from home care and residential services to commonwealth-supported initiatives.
With rising demand for aged care, the workforce is expected to grow significantly—to 980,000 workers according to government projections. Breakthru College provides the training you need to build a successful career in this dynamic and essential sector.
Our trainers bring real-world insight to every lesson, sharing practical knowledge and a true passion for care. With us, you’ll gain more than a qualification—you’ll develop the skills needed to deliver meaningful support.
