About this resource

This is a series of resources for learners, job seekers and employers including a Career Pathways Framework for Aged Care, Disability Services and health.

Career Pathways Framework

The Career Pathways Framework outlines current and emerging roles within the care and support workforce. It describes the purpose, tasks, education and training requirements for each role in the aged care, disability services, and veterans' care sectors.

The Framework is intended to be used by stakeholders to support workforce development, including prospective employees seeking to enter the sectors, careers advisors working in schools or the community, and government in understanding workforce needs.
