Aged Care & Nursing South

Next Information Session

Aged Care Services

Improvements in health care and medical technologies are ensuring people are living longer than ever before. To accommodate these increases, service providers require more qualified staff to work in Aged Care facilities, private homes and other service industries.

For those who enjoy supporting families and working with people to maintain their independence, the Aged Care industry offers a rewarding career with a variety of opportunities to work one-to-one or as facilitators, supervisors, coordinators or managers.

With the move away from institutional care for those with a disability and an increase in longevity of many other people within our community, there has been an increase in the need for qualified staff in the area of leisure and recreation. Whether as staff working in a residential or day service setting, operating out of larger facilities or a private home, there are many rewarding opportunities for staff skilled in organising and facilitating a range of leisure and recreational activities.

The Tasmanian environment and lifestyle in particular offers a diverse range of career prospects, whether as an individual or group facilitator, coordinator or manager.

Nursing

Enrolled Nursing is a rewarding profession allowing varied and diverse employment and career opportunities in community, aged care and acute settings.
