Aged care is a meaningful career for people who want to support older Australians with day-to-day care, independence and quality of life. It’s also a growing sector, with strong long-term demand for qualified workers across residential, home and community care settings.
For most beginners, the best starting point is the CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing). It gives you the practical skills and nationally recognised qualification needed to start working in aged care. If you want broader job options across both sectors, the Ageing & Disability pathway may be a better fit.
If you want flexibility to work with older people and people living with disability, the CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing & Disability) is the stronger option. It gives you broader job outcomes while still preparing you for aged care roles.
