Aged Care Sector in High Demand for Staff

The care sector, particularly aged care, is facing a significant skills shortage in Victoria and across Australia. This is due to an aging population and a growing demand for care services. As a result, there is a high demand for skilled and qualified aged care workers to meet the needs of the community.

Studying aged care with a RTO (Registered Training Organisation) in Victoria can provide students with the skills and qualifications needed to succeed in this growing industry. RTOs offer a range of aged care courses that provide students with hands-on experience and the opportunity to learn from industry professionals. These courses can lead to a wide range of career opportunities in the aged care sector, including roles as personal care workers, community care workers, and nursing assistants.

According to the Australian Government’s Job Outlook website, the number of job opportunities for aged and disabled carers is expected to grow strongly over the next five years. This is driven by an aging population and an increase in demand for care services. The website also states that there are an estimated 91,800 job openings for aged and disabled carers, which is expected to increase by 21.1% over the next five years.

By studying aged care with MCIE, students in Victoria can gain the skills and qualifications they need to take advantage of these job opportunities and make a meaningful difference in the lives of older people in their community.
