RPL Aged Care

If you have been working in residential aged care, home care, or community support — and have hands-on experience providing personal care and support to older people — RPL allows you to obtain a nationally recognised individual support (ageing) qualification based on your existing experience.

Many experienced aged care workers have been delivering quality care for years without a formal qualification. RPL recognises that experience and converts it into the nationally recognised qualification increasingly required by employers and the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission.
