Aged Care nursing

Aged care nurses are highly skilled health professionals who have the privilege to enrich care for our aging population and learn from their experience.

The Aged care sector is growing fast, with 3.5 million Australians predicted to be accessing aged care by 2050. The already high demand for aged care nurses will continue to grow and the predicted workforce will need to triple its current size to almost one million in the next 30 years just to meet demand.

The growth in Aged care provides a platform for innovation – expanding services and opportunities give Aged care nurses the chance to have an impact on the improvement and development of gerontic care in Australia.

There’s no other job like aged care nursing.
