Imagine a job that’s both varied and meaningful. In aged care, you can break away from routine and have a real impact on the lives of older people.
Being part of the aged care sector means contributing to the wellbeing of older people, their loved ones, and the wider community. It’s a rewarding job that connects you with people as they age.
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.
We deliver training through professionals who’ve worked in the field, offering practical advice and genuine dedication. You’ll leave with the skills to make a real difference, not just a piece of paper.
