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.
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.
With over 450,000 aged care workers nationwide, Australia’s aged care sector spans residential care, in-home services, and commonwealth support 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.
Our experienced trainers teach from lived understanding, providing hands-on examples and genuine guidance. Studying with us means learning how to offer real support—not just earning a certificate.
Breakthru College has earned official recognition from the Department of Education as a High-Performing Provider.
This status highlights our commitment to strong outcomes, practical preparation, and student success. Choosing us means learning from a provider known for delivering results.
Your learning needs are unique, and our team is ready to help—whether it’s through individual guidance, pacing that suits you, or technical support.
From the beginning of your course to graduation, we’ll help you stay confident, supported, and focused on your success.
Our trainers have decades of experience in the aged care, disability, or healthcare sectors.

Alongside recognised qualifications, students appreciate the welcoming and supportive learning environment at Breakthru College.
We see each student as an individual and foster an environment where you feel supported, motivated, and confident. Many return for more study or refer friends—and that speaks volumes.
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.
The course enables you to take on support roles across aged care settings, focusing on person-centred care guided by individualised plans.
With this qualification, support workers take on advanced responsibilities in home, community, and residential care. They’re expected to work more independently and guide care delivery using tailored support plans.
Australian residents living in NSW may be eligible to have all or part of their course fees subsidised using the Smart & Skilled State Government funding scheme.

Both qualifications equip you to deliver person-centred support for older individuals, but they differ in scope. The Certificate III in Individual Support provides a well-rounded base for various support roles, whereas the Certificate IV in Ageing Support offers targeted training that leads to positions requiring more responsibility.
Our full qualification courses include compulsory work placements, typically requiring 120 hours of practical experience in an aged care setting with full support.
Completing one of our courses could support your progression into diploma or bachelor-level study.
