Govt funding for training personal care staff in aged care

Training organisations have been invited to apply for Government funding to train thousands of personal care staff of small aged-care facilities in rural and isolated locations.

Registered training organisations that worked in partnership with eligible residential aged care providers, Multipurpose Services, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flexible aged care services could apply for funds to train personal care staff.

Staff will receive support under the Support for Aged Care Training (SACT) program for four years to improve their skills. The Australian Government has committed $30 million over that period for this training.

The program will provide personal care staff with relevant vocational education and training, helping them upgrade their skills.

Applications close on Friday, 17 November 2006.
