Aged Care in Milsons Point & Across Australia

Many Australians aspire to sustain their independent lifestyle in their own homes for as long as practicable. As an aged care worker, you can contribute significantly to fulfilling this aspiration.

Aged care services can range from long to short-term support provided in a person’s own home. Some individuals may eventually need full-time care in a residential care home or facility, a change that can offer significant benefits to them and their families.

More than one million people in Australia were provided care between 2019 and 2020, reflecting the significant size of the elderly population. This involved a variety of services and roles. For example, approximately 840,000 people gained home support through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme, and approximately 245, 000 people received care as permanent residents in aged care facilities.

With the increasing demographic of individuals over sixty-five, there is a marked demand for support workers. In 2020, the Commonwealth Home Support Programme employed 76,096 workers, and the Residential Aged Care sector had 277,671 workers. The comparison of numbers between elderly individuals needing care and the available workforce underscores the high demand for support workers.
