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.
A career in aged care is both fulfilling and impactful, giving you the chance to support older Australians and their families as they age.
Australia is home to over 450,000 aged care workers across a range of settings, including residential care, home support, and commonwealth-funded 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.
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.
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.
You’ll receive support and encouragement from start to finish, helping you achieve your goals no matter your background.
Our trainers are experienced professionals with decades in aged care, disability, or healthcare.
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.
Alongside recognised qualifications, students appreciate the welcoming and supportive learning environment at Breakthru College.
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.
Breakthru College offers nationally recognised aged care qualifications tailored to different career goals. Our courses combine classroom learning with practical experience, including a required work placement to ensure graduates are job-ready.
This training equips you to provide personalised support in residential and community aged care, helping people as they age.
Support workers with this qualification carry out specialised duties across home, community, and residential settings. They work with greater independence and leadership while following established guidelines to deliver care based on individualised plans.
