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.
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.
Across Australia, more than 450,000 aged care professionals work in various settings—from home care and residential services to commonwealth-supported initiatives.
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.
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.
