Imagine a job that’s both varied and meaningful. In aged care, you can break away from routine and have a real impact on the lives of older people.
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.
There are more than 450,000 people working in aged care in Australia, supporting older individuals through services like home care, residential care, and commonwealth-funded programs.
The aged care sector is growing alongside Australia’s ageing population, with the Government forecasting a need for 980,000 workers. Breakthru College delivers high-quality training to prepare you for a strong future in this vital industry.
