Aged Care Specialisation Course

Aged care plays an important role in helping older people maintain their dignity, independence and quality of life. Building skills in aged care gives you the opportunity to support older people with their individual needs, understand the challenges they may face and help them feel safe, comfortable and respected.

Along the way, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of dementia support, aged care practices and palliative care approaches, along with the knowledge needed to support older people through different stages of life.

If you’re passionate about helping others and want to explore opportunities in aged care, our Aged Care Specialisation Course can help you develop practical knowledge and skills to take your next step in the care sector. This course is also available as part of our Aged Care & Disability Support Bundle.
