Aged Care pay rates on the rise

The Fair Work Commission announced a well-deserved 15% pay rise for workers in the aged care sector, with further increases expected. Minister for Aged Care Anika Wells stated, “A wage rise for aged care workers is not just the right thing to do it is a smart thing to do.”  

Government reforms in Aged Care mean that over 20,000 new workers will be needed in the sector in the next financial year. Aged and Community Care Providers Association chief executive Tom Symondson says they are working closely with the government on solutions: “The goal is to make aged care a sector of choice by improving training and development opportunities, skill levels and pay.”  

Sarina Russo Institute offers a Certificate III in Individual Support which can get students trained and ready to work in the sector in 6 months.
