Do you have a passion for helping the elderly and disabled?

In Australia, aged care worker has become the most in demand health care sector workers. They make a valuable contribution to the daily lives of many thousands of older people across the country.

Australia has long thought of itself as a ‘young’ country as people are reminded by the phrase ‘for we are young and free’ whenever the national anthem is sung. But there has been changes on the view of ageing. Australians have been slow in coming to think of themselves as an ageing country and this has arguably restricted their capacities to respond constructively to ageing individuals and an ageing society.

Without migration, Australia’s population would eventually begin to fall. Immigration levels can be increased to address population ageing. Because migrants are predominantly of workforce age, migration will assist in keeping up workforce growth.

Aged care workers are a fortunate bunch who provide personal, physical and emotional support to older people to improve their quality of life. The relationships that can develop through caring for the elderly are heartwarming and memorable. 

Without a doubt, working in the aged care sector can bring so much joy into someone else’s life.

It is an extremely rewarding and fulfilling career which will leave you knowing you have enhanced the lives of your clients by allowing them to remain living in their own home for as long as possible or providing them intensive support within a high care facility.
