About the Home Care Workforce Support Program

We are delivering the government-funded Home Care Workforce Support Program (HCWSP) in New South Wales (NSW) and the ACT to help Australia’s seniors enjoy a safe and independent life at home.

  • The program is free and open to anyone who wants to build a meaningful career supporting seniors
  • We aim to grow, upskill, train and support a well-qualified and well-supported aged care workforce that delivers safe, high-quality care that puts seniors first.

Australia needs 110,000 more support workers in the next 10 years to support our seniors to live at home for longer. Through the program, we’re directly working towards boosting the aged care workforce by 4,400 personal care workers by mid-2024.
