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.
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.
