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.
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.
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.
Breakthru College has earned official recognition from the Department of Education as a High-Performing Provider.
We’ve earned this recognition through consistent performance in training, support, and real-world preparation. When you enrol with us, you’re joining a provider with a history of success.
Learning isn’t one-size-fits-all, so we offer personalised help—be it mentoring, adaptable timelines, or tech support—every step of the way.
Whether you're just starting out or building on experience, you'll feel guided and motivated from your first day to the day you graduate.
Our trainers have decades of experience in the aged care, disability, or healthcare sectors.
Every class is shaped by their real-world perspective, practical examples, and genuine dedication. You’ll learn more than theory—you’ll be guided by trainers who care.
It’s not only our qualifications that attract students, but also the encouraging and inclusive atmosphere we’re proud of.
We create a space where you feel valued, inspired, and ready to learn—because we know every student is different. Many of our learners return or refer others, which says a lot.
At Breakthru College, our aged care qualifications are nationally recognised and created to support diverse career pathways. All programs include study and practical components, with mandatory placement to provide real-world experience.

While both courses cover the skills needed to deliver individualised care based on an older person's needs, the Certificate III in Individual Support is more general and prepares you for a broader range of roles across aged care, disability, or health care. In contrast, the Certificate IV in Ageing Support focuses specifically on aged care and qualifies you for roles with increased autonomy.
To complete our full qualifications, students must undertake a work placement, usually consisting of 120 fully supported hours in an aged care environment.
You may be able to use your completed course to access further education, such as a diploma or bachelor-level qualification.
