Perth, like the rest of Australia, is experiencing a growing need for compassionate and qualified individual support workers. Our population is ageing, more people are living with long-term health conditions, and the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is expanding services across the country. This means more individuals are seeking personalised care, whether at home, in the community, or in specialised facilities.

The demand isn’t slowing down. Industry experts predict that Australia could face a shortage of thousands of support workers over the next decade. For caring, reliable people who want a secure career, this is one of the most rewarding and future-proof paths you can take.

At Aroha College, we make starting your career simple and achievable. Our CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing and Disability) is nationally recognised, combining classroom learning with practical placements so you graduate fully prepared for the workforce.

We also offer non-accredited short courses in Aged Care and Disability, designed to strengthen your skills, build your confidence, and give you practical knowledge you can apply straight away. With flexible study options, dedicated trainers, and hands-on experience, we’ll be with you every step of the way—from enrolment to employment.

When you finish your course with Aroha College, you’re not just getting a certificate you’re stepping into a career with endless possibilities. You could work in aged care facilities, disability services, community programs, or as an in-home support worker.
