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.
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.
We deliver training through professionals who’ve worked in the field, offering practical advice and genuine dedication. You’ll leave with the skills to make a real difference, not just a piece of paper.
