In 2021, the National Youth Employment Body supported communities to design and implement a skills pathway for young people to enter the aged care and disability workforce, drawing on new and existing federal and state government investments to implement streamlined and coherent pathway for young people into work.
The Entry into Care Roles Skill Set was developed in consultation with industry to rapidly upskill a ‘surge’ workforce to meet the needs of the aged care and disability support sector during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
