Aged care
We offer a range of solutions including accredited training, traineeships, RPL and micro-credentials across the aged care sector.
Older Australians are the people we cherish the most—our mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and great-grandparents. The aged care sector supports our loved ones to continue living meaningful lives as they grow older. Because they mean so much to us, it’s important that the people delivering our aged care services are well-trained and highly skilled.
Our focus is on supporting your business to develop the skills of your workforce, ensuring the ongoing provision of exemplary services, in residential care and in-home care. We understand the complex requirements of being able to cater to the differing care and support needs and preferences of individuals, and differences in identity and culture. Our solutions bring together the best training content, technology and delivery methods to suit your business.
