Australia has an ageing population. As the population ages, the incidence of disability also increases proportionately. Suppose you're looking to support an ageing family member or work within the residential and community aged care environment. In that case, you need to understand more about managing and supporting the aged with disabilities.

"Really enjoying the course! I’ve learnt so much in such a short time. I can’t wait to pursue a career in this industry; it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I’m very glad this course was recommended to me, I’ll be recommending it to my friends and family too." - Mikala

At this point in time, much needs to be done to improve the services available to those who are ageing with a disability. People who are ageing with a disability often require access to both disability and aged care services. But rather than easy service and support pathways, they encounter bureaucratic barriers and dead-ends. 

More Content. More Skills. More Value.

That's why we have developed this aged care & disability course to help people from all walks of life and to help support the ageing population with disabilities.

More than one-quarter of a million people (282,000) were using residential care (permanent or respite), home care or transition care services in Australia on 30 June 2018. In addition, in 2017–18 more than 783,000 people were assisted in their home under the Commonwealth Home Support Program. This is a growing industry with considerable job opportunities across Australia and New Zealand. Please check with your state department for the relevant checks and permissions that may be required to work in this industry.

Why students love learning with us

We don't use dense academic text books. Instead, we design digestible step-by-step modules and high-quality video sessions, backed by 24/7 tutorial support. The lessons are all taught on demand, and assessments are generally short answer or multiple-choice and can be re-taken as many times as needed. They’re perfect for people with busy lives and families who want to better themselves while unlocking better opportunities.
We are CPD endorsed. Completing CPD-endorsed learning gives you CPD Points. These points are recognised by employers. You will receive evidence of your CPD points on your Course Completion Acknowledgement and digital badge issued by Credly.
Enrol at any time and study on your own terms. Assessments are designed to improve comprehension rather than test the recall of facts in a timed setting.
