Imagine a role where no two days are the same—and each one brings the chance to help others. A career in aged care lets you make a real difference while doing meaningful work.
A career in aged care is both fulfilling and impactful, giving you the chance to support older Australians and their families as they age.
Australia is home to over 450,000 aged care workers across a range of settings, including residential care, home support, and commonwealth-funded programs.
With Australia's ageing population on the rise, demand for skilled aged care workers is growing rapidly. The Australian Government projects the workforce will need to expand to 980,000. Breakthru College offers quality training to help you gain the skills and experience needed to thrive in this evolving field.
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.
