Program update
SSI was one of six organisations chosen by the federal government to grow, upskill and support Australia’s home care workers to ensure senior Australians can access the care they need to remain independent at home.
The Department of Health and Aged Care (DOHAC) has notified us that the Home Care Workforce Support Program (HCWSP) will end across all States and Territories on 30 June 2024. After this date, you will no longer be able to access our training and support services.
Care career roadmap
The Care Career Roadmap provides a clear pathway for career progression and highlights complementary roles and their requirements.
There are many jobs that a career in home care can open up to, such as:
- Nursing
- Occupational therapy
- Allied health
- Speech pathology
- Paramedic roles
- Medical officer roles
- Counselling roles
- Geriatrics.
