People requiring aged care are vulnerable groups who need to be certain that they are being cared for by skilled individuals. Aged populations and their families can trust you as a safe and competent professional if you have a licence or are registered.

The regulations for registration and licensing vary by state. According to your job, you may need a community care licence or register with the state authority. Visit the website of the relevant regulatory agency in your state to learn more about licences and their requirements.
