Your CPD Partner in Aged Care
Supporting nurses, carers, and aged care organisations with practical, evidence-based education and training that builds confidence, strengthens compliance, and improves resident outcomes.
Since 1986, Age Concern has partnered with aged care organisations and nurses to go beyond minimum care standards. Through practical, evidence-based education, we’ve helped nurses, care staff, and managers build skills and confidence that translate into person-centred, contemporary care.
Our programs don’t just meet compliance, they empower staff and elevate recognition of professional excellence.
For Organisations
We partner with aged care providers through in-person
sessions, personalised Zoom/Teams programs, and pre-recorded webinars.
Each session is tailored to your needs and issues and is, aligned with regulatory requirements, and backed by the latest evidence in contemporary care and references.
Our focus is on upskilling teams, strengthening positive
care cultures, and addressing the real-world challenges your staff face every day, with ongoing support well beyond the training itself.
For Individuals
We provide CPD-accredited courses that are practical, relevant, and engaging that helps you strengthen clinical skills, feel confident managing complex cases, and advance your career in aged care.
Our programs are built around real-world aged care challenges and include live interaction, case-based learning, and practical tools you can apply straight away. You can also request personalised sessions or specific topics to suit your learning needs.
Expect to finish each session with greater confidence, sharper skills, and clear strategies for improving resident outcomes.

Our Knowledge & Expertise
Our expertise lies in helping aged care providers and nursing staff move beyond compliance to deliver truly person-centred care.
Through evidence-based strategies, practical training, and on-site mentoring, we support teams to strengthen skills, improve resident outcomes, and build care cultures that last.
We Understand the Pressure You’re Under
Organisations face unending compliance changes; funding that fails to cover
increasing care needs, staffing and the failure to recognise aged care as a
clinical speciality.
In aged care today, the pressure is constant, from meeting ever-changing compliance requirements and ensuring high-quality care, to supporting staff wellbeing and managing limited resources.
Facilities and individuals alike are under increasing scrutiny, with rising expectations from regulators, residents, and families.
Individual nurses are stressed balancing their legal, clinical nursing
activities with increasing/repetitive documentation for compliance; ongoing CPD
and staffing shortages.
Without relevant continuing professional development this may lead to:
01
Staff burnout and turnover
02
An increase in SIRS
03
Poor clinical outcomes
04
Risk of non-compliance
Tailored aged care CPA EDUCATION that’s personal, practical, and proven to deliver results.

Some of our recent Feedback
"The Age Concern programs have been invaluable to me. They have not only
enabled me to upgrade my knowledge and skills as an RN in Aged Care but also given me the confidence that I am performing my responsibilities properly (which I take seriously). They are interesting, relevant, well put together and up to date. Prue and staff are always supportive and I recommend Age Concern to every RN working in Aged Care who wants to give quality care.”
