To work in aged care in Western Australia, you generally need a Certificate III in Individual Support (Aged Care) (CHC33015), which provides the foundational skills required for hands-on roles like aged care assistant, personal care worker, or home support worker. For advanced roles, including supervisory or team leader positions, a Certificate IV in Ageing Support (CHC43015) may be required. Both qualifications include a practical work placement component, so you can gain real experience and ensure you're job-ready when you finish your course.

Once you’ve completed your Aged Care training, you can work in a variety of settings, including aged care facilities, hospitals, home care agencies, and community health services. Roles include aged care worker, personal care assistant, home support worker, disability support worker, and lifestyle support worker. The demand for aged care workers is high, especially in regional and remote areas of WA, offering excellent job prospects.
