Common questions
How can I make my application stand out when applying for casual work in aged care?
To make your application stand out, clearly list your qualifications and experience, paying special attention to your dates of employment.

What qualifications do I need to work in aged care?
To start work in aged care, the minimum qualification required is a Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing) or similar, such as a Certificate III in Health Services Assistance.
