Why choose a career in aged care
Currently, there is a considerable demographic shift occurring in the world. The population of older people is growing. And Australia is experiencing no less than the rest of the world. This shift is leading to more demand for skilled and qualified workers to support older people.
Most importantly, aged care is more than just a job. It's an opportunity to make a real and
positive difference every day in the lives of people. An aged care professional provides
personal service, assisting a person with daily tasks – i.e., cooking, cleaning, and more. It's
known that older people look for love, care, and respect in their life's encounters. One should
make them feel special and respected while still taking into consideration their emotional side
so they don't feel isolated or cut off from society.
