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.
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.
With over 450,000 aged care workers nationwide, Australia’s aged care sector spans residential care, in-home services, and commonwealth support programs.
As the number of older Australians increases, so does the need for trained care workers. Government estimates show the workforce must grow to 980,000 workers to support this sector. Our courses at Breakthru College equip you with the skills and experience to succeed in this expanding industry.
With practical experience and a strong commitment to helping others, our trainers offer more than just theory. You’ll graduate not only with a recognised qualification but with the ability to provide real, compassionate care.

Breakthru College offers nationally recognised aged care qualifications tailored to different career goals. Our courses combine classroom learning with practical experience, including a required work placement to ensure graduates are job-ready.
The course enables you to take on support roles across aged care settings, focusing on person-centred care guided by individualised plans.
Support workers with this qualification carry out specialised duties across home, community, and residential settings. They work with greater independence and leadership while following established guidelines to deliver care based on individualised plans.
