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.
Working in aged care is a meaningful role that allows you to support older people, their families, and the community. It’s a fulfilling career that lets you share in people’s lives as they grow older.
With over 450,000 aged care workers nationwide, Australia’s aged care sector spans residential care, in-home services, and commonwealth support 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.
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.
