A common desire among Australians is to maintain their independence, living in their own homes for as long as possible. In your role as an aged care worker, you can play a vital part in making this achievable.

Aged care services can range from long to short-term support provided in a person’s own home. Some individuals may eventually need full-time care in a residential care home or facility, a change that can offer significant benefits to them and their families.

More than one million people in Australia were provided care between 2019 and 2020, reflecting the significant size of the elderly population. This involved a variety of services and roles. For example, approximately 840,000 people gained home support through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme, and approximately 245, 000 people received care as permanent residents in aged care facilities.

Given the rise in the population aged sixty-five and above, there is a significant demand for support workers. In 2020, the Commonwealth Home Support Programme had 76,096 employees, and the Residential Aged Care sector had 277,671. Considering the number of elderly people requiring care against the number of workers, the high demand for support workers becomes evident.
