Picture yourself in a job that’s both varied and fulfilling. Aged care offers the opportunity to support others and make a genuine impact every day.
Being part of the aged care sector means contributing to the wellbeing of older people, their loved ones, and the wider community. It’s a rewarding job that connects you with people 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 rising demand for aged care, the workforce is expected to grow significantly—to 980,000 workers according to government projections. Breakthru College provides the training you need to build a successful career in this dynamic and essential sector.
