Channel your empathy and people skills into a rewarding career helping people by studying an aged care course.

Build the practical skills required to make a real difference in the lives of thousands of Australians by studying a rewarding and in-demand aged care course. Providing personal, physical, emotional support to aged clients, graduates of aged care courses play a vital role in assisting older Australians to live flourishing and engaged lives.

With an old and ageing population, Australia critically needs skilled care professionals to support demands on the health and social service sectors, and help thousands of Australians live meaningful lives. The Australian Bureau of Statistics projects that by 2064 more than 10 million Australians, or nearly a third of the population, will be aged over 65 – tripling the current population figure of 3.4 million people. Job opportunities in the sector are projected to grow strongly in line with increased demand on aged care services, and studying an aged care course can help you start a fulfilling career working in this sector.

Providing the assistance, emotional support, care and companionship required by older Australians, aged care workers support clients to perform everyday tasks and errands, and offer friendship and personal care. Delivered in people’s own homes, these services relieve pressure on the health care system and ensure that the client is at the centre of their own care. Meaningful and fulfilling, aged care work offers a real opportunity for people looking to make a difference in their career.

You can study an aged care course as a Certificate III or IV, or as part of a bachelor’s or master’s degree. After graduating, you may seek employment in home and community care settings, usually working as an aged care worker or community care assistant.

Performing everyday tasks for your client, including cleaning, vacuuming and doing washing; and
Liaising with family members, social workers, medical professionals, other care providers and other stakeholders to deliver holistic care and support for your client.

In some situations, you may also live with a client, and work intimately with them to ensure they can continue to participate fully in society with your support.
