Graduates of Aged Care can be instrumental in improving quality of life by working with older people.  It is considered a rewarding, meaningful and important career as well. Because of the exciting technological developments and other advances, there are many career options and openings available in the Aged Care industry including careers related to nursing and pathways that can lead to nursing. Students are taught how to be a leader, facilitate the well-being of older people, address the needs of people with chronic disease and several other illnesses.  Aged care requires a lot of hard work.
