A Growing and Essential Industry in Australia

The individual support sector plays a critical role in Australia’s health and community services industry, providing essential care and assistance to ageing Australians, people with disability, and those requiring ongoing support. With an ageing population and the continued expansion of the NDIS and aged care services, demand for qualified individual support workers remains strong across Australia.

Careers in individual support offer meaningful, people-focused work with strong employment outcomes and flexible job opportunities in residential care, home and community settings. Entry-level roles provide clear pathways into further study and career progression within aged care, disability support, and community services.

Nationally recognised training in individual support equips students with practical skills aligned with current industry standards, including person-centred care, workplace health and safety, and compliance with regulatory requirements. Training is designed to prepare students for real workplace environments and immediate employment.
