Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Certificate III in aged care cost?

Course fees for a Certificate III in aged care vary depending on the provider, delivery mode and whether you qualify for funding. Government-funded or subsidised places may be available in some states, but eligibility depends on the provider and where you live. You can compare listed fees against each course on this page, or enquire directly with a provider to confirm your out-of-pocket cost.

Is there a free online aged care certificate available?

Government funding for aged care courses depends on the provider and the state you're in. Some aged care courses are government-funded or subsidised, while others aren't, so there's no single free course for everyone. You can see funding details listed against each course on this page, or enquire to check your eligibility directly with the provider.

What jobs can I get after finishing an aged care course?

Aged care courses can lead to roles across aged care, community services and health, depending on the qualification level you complete. Common outcomes include support and care roles, with further study opening pathways toward supervisory or coordination positions such as Care Supervisor (Aged Care). The right pathway depends on the qualification you choose and your career goals.

How long does it take to complete an aged care course?

Aged care courses typically take between three months and three years to complete, depending on the qualification level. A Certificate II or III usually takes less time than a Diploma or Bachelor's Degree. Study mode also affects duration, since part-time or blended study can take longer than full-time on-campus learning.

How much do aged care workers get paid in Australia?

Pay for aged care workers varies by state, experience and setting. According to PayScale Australia, hourly rates differ depending on the role and employer. Completing a recognised qualification, such as those listed under Aged Care courses, can support entry into these roles.
