Aged care courses
I loved going back to study — TAFE Queensland made it so easy. It really was a really valuable learning experience which I absolutely loved.
If I can help make someone's life better, I'm going to do it.
To bring joy, meaning and purpose to a person's life, even if it’s only for a few minutes or an hour, is beyond rewarding and fulfilling.
