Course overview

Australia’s ageing and growing population means there is an increasing need for compassionate, capable people who can support older Australians to live with dignity, respect and a better quality of life.

If you’re passionate about helping others and want to build practical skills in emotional, physical and personal care, the Aged Care Skills Micro-Credential is a great place to start. It’s also ideal for existing carers who want to strengthen and consolidate their current skills.

Learn Practical Aged Care Skills Online

This online course covers essential skills for providing care and support to older Australians across a range of settings, including private homes, community environments and registered home care facilities.

You’ll work through easy-to-understand learning modules designed to help you build practical knowledge at your own pace. The course has been developed by experts in the field, making it a flexible way to develop your understanding of aged care and community care.

Build Your Knowledge and Take the Next Step

If you’re considering a career in aged care or already work in a caring role, this micro-credential can help you build a stronger foundation of relevant skills and knowledge.

Some aged care roles require additional qualifications. To help you plan your next steps, the course includes supplementary resources covering further study options and relevant qualifications.

Online Courses Australia can also provide proof of enrolment upon request, which may assist when seeking placement opportunities in the aged care and community care industry.
