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.
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.
