Life in the Brisbane Aged Care Industry After Graduation
For many ageing Australians, retaining their independence is one of the most important things. Independent living allows someone to keep some elements of control in their changing life, but they need the help of passionate care workers to help make that feasible.
The demand for aged care workers is only rising. As Australia’s population of people over sixty-five has grown, so has the demand for aged care services. From 2019 to 2020, almost one million Australians were using these services – including nearly 840,000 receiving home support via the Commonwealth Home Support Program and close to 245,000 housed permanently in aged care facilities.
There are thousands of people in Brisbane and the rest of Australia working in different aged care sectors, including the Commonwealth Home Support Program and the Residential Aged Care sector. But this increasingly high demand isn’t being met. Once you graduate from Breakthru College, you will be able to jump into an industry that needs more qualified and skilled workers than ever.
