Australia’s care sector is facing its biggest workforce challenge in a generation. Demand for aged care, disability support and early childhood educators keeps climbing – and providers everywhere are feeling the pressure. At Skilled Care, we exist to help close that gap.
Skilled Care (RTO 31942) has been operating since 2009. We’re a registered training organisation that does something most providers don’t: we train, recruit and retain the people who care – all under one roof.
More than a college. More than a recruiter.
Plenty of organisations train care workers. Others recruit them. We do both – and we help keep them in the sector. That means smoother pathways from the classroom to the workplace for trainees, and a dependable, job-ready workforce for employers.
Three sectors, one mission
We train and staff across three care sectors:
- Aged Care – Certificate III in Individual Support (including in-home care), plus aged-care recruitment and traineeships.
- Disability & Home Care – person-centred support training and NDIS-ready staffing.
- Child Care – Certificate III and Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care.
For trainees: paid traineeships, no upfront fees
If you’re starting out or changing careers, our traineeships let you earn while you learn, with real workplace experience and a trainer in your corner the whole way. No upfront course fees, and a nationally recognised qualification at the end of it.
For providers: build a workforce, not just fill shifts
We help care providers recruit, train and retain qualified staff – and turn a hiring cost into a government-subsidised investment. You can even estimate the savings with our workforce cost calculator.
