Aged Care
Start a meaningful career in the aged care industry.
What is Aged Care?
Aged care is the support provided to older people who require help with daily activities. From personal care to helping with household tasks and mobility, aged care workers ensure that older people maintain a good quality of life.
Whether it’s in the comfort of their own homes or within facilities such as a nursing home, the goal of aged care is to meet the social, personal, and healthcare needs of older people, allowing them to embrace ageing with grace and dignity while receiving the essential support they need.
