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.
With over 450,000 aged care workers nationwide, Australia’s aged care sector spans residential care, in-home services, and commonwealth support programs.
With Australia's ageing population on the rise, demand for skilled aged care workers is growing rapidly. The Australian Government projects the workforce will need to expand to 980,000. Breakthru College offers quality training to help you gain the skills and experience needed to thrive in this evolving field.
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.
