It is evident with our ageing population that we are living longer than ever before. As a result, ageing support has become an in-demand career in a challenging and rewarding sector. This growing sector offers a variety of job prospects, including becoming a Care Worker, Community Care Worker, Nursing Assistant or Home Care Assistant.
Aged Care support workers look after the health and well-being of seniors in facilities, or help maintain the independence of those living in their own homes. If you’re looking to help those in need and want to make yourself highly employable, the right qualification can open doors to a variety of fulfilling career opportunities.
Through our nationally recognised course in Individual Support - Ageing, you will learn the important skills needed to facilitate the empowerment of older people.
