Step into a role that’s dynamic and rewarding. Aged care allows you to move beyond the ordinary and make a positive difference in people’s lives.
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.
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.
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.
We deliver training through professionals who’ve worked in the field, offering practical advice and genuine dedication. You’ll leave with the skills to make a real difference, not just a piece of paper.
