If you’re worried about whether a course in individual support will leave you scrambling to find a job — stop right there. Australia’s demand for individual and community support workers is ever-increasing due to a low fertility rate and a high level of life expectancy.
In other words, the industry is waiting for you! Before the pandemic struck, Australia’s aged care industry was already projected to have approximately 179,000 job openings which are expected to double by 2050.
Now that you understand the industry’s demand, it’s a matter of answering a fundamental question: is individual support right for you? Being responsible for another person’s life is a confronting thought for some — but if the prospect of this brings a smile to your face — then it’s likely you’ve found your calling. There’s no denying that any caretaker role will be gruelling at times, but this is temporary. The gratitude you will receive from your clients will last a lifetime.
Aside from being a rewarding career, this industry also has a lot of flexibility. This is far from your usual 9.00 am – 5.00 pm office job — your hours are always changing, and you can travel from place to place to service your clients.
If you’re a positive, resilient person who loves helping others and wants to make a difference in your community, then individual support might be a great fit for you.
