ABOUT US
Care Academy Qld is a Nationally Recognised Training Organisation.
We provide quality training for the community services sector, including Ageing, Home and Community and Disability and Leisure and Health, so that on completion, our students have the skills and knowledge to immediately be an asset to any organisation.
We take great pride in what we do
Our students become support workers, in various roles, for people who are ageing and people with a disability. People who do this work are making a difference in the lives of others. We take our role providing the required training very seriously.
From the first inquiry, until placement is completed, the entire friendly Care Academy team supports the students. We understand that embarking on study for a new career can be quite daunting. Especially in the area of personal care. Our team will answer all questions and provide support to ensure students are reassured. We want our students to be fantastic support workers and the great feedback we receive from students and organisations show we are on the right track.
Most of our students are quickly snapped up either during or shortly after placement. We specialise only in the ageing, home and community and disability sectors and our goal is to be known as The Gurus in training, in these sectors. Our reputation proves that we are well on our way to achieving this.
We stringently follow, and go beyond industry compliance, so students can be comfortable that they are receiving training that exceeds all the requirements and standards.
