Aged Care

Have you considered a career in aged care?

Thanks to Australia’s ageing population and the government investing significant funding in the aged care sector, there is now a greater demand than ever for qualified care workers.

The federal government has committed to spending $452 million as part of a major five-year plan to reform Australia’s aged care system.

This is the immediate response and experts are suggesting the price tag could be upwards of $20 billion if all of the Royal Commission’s recommendations are implemented.
