Course overview
The aged and home care sector is one of Australia’s largest and fastest growing service industries. In 2015, 130,200 persons were employed as Nursing Support and Personal Care workers and it estimated that up to another 250,200 more workers will be required by 2020. Australia is experiencing a demographic change due to our ever growing ageing population. Projections suggest that Australia’s population aged 65 yrs and older will account for 18.85% of the population in 2031.
This qualification will give you the skills and knowledge to provide person-centred support to people who may require support due to ageing. With industry moving to follow individualised plans to provide a person-centred approach, you will learn how to be a leader, facilitate the empowerment of older people, support independence and wellbeing and address the needs of people with chronic disease.
