We believe students deserve transparent, unbiased information about aged care training providers. Too many RTOs hide costs, make false promises, or prioritize visa processing over quality education.
Our goal is to help you make informed decisions by providing clear comparisons, honest assessments, and comprehensive guides to licensing requirements.
We've analyzed over 50 RTOs offering CHC43015, reviewed hundreds of student testimonials, and cross-referenced ASQA compliance data to bring you the most accurate provider comparisons available.
In 2024, we noticed a troubling pattern: students were enrolling in aged care courses without understanding the true costs, licensing requirements, or quality differences between providers. Many discovered hidden fees, poor teaching quality, or invalid qualifications only after paying thousands of dollars.
The aged care training sector has particular challenges:
We built this site to solve these problems with transparent, data-driven comparisons and comprehensive state-by-state licensing guides.
Our content is researched and compiled by education analysts with backgrounds in vocational education policy, aged care workforce development, and consumer protection.

We maintain strict editorial independence: we do not accept payment from RTOs for rankings, and all MDPA scores are calculated using our published methodology without commercial influence.
Challenge: Sarah was quoted $11,000 by an international student-focused RTO, unaware that domestic students could access the same qualification for free through Free TAFE Victoria.
Solution: Using our provider comparison, Sarah enrolled at Victoria University (MDPA Score: 91/100) with $0 tuition fees, saving $11,000.
Outcome: Completed CHC43015 in 20 months, now working as Residential Care Coordinator earning $62,000/year.
Challenge: Michael had 8 years experience but no formal qualification. He didn't know about Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathways.
Solution: Our RPL guide helped Michael apply for credit transfer, reducing his study time from 18 months to 9 months.
Outcome: Achieved Certificate IV in 9 months, promoted to Team Leader with $8,000 salary increase.
Challenge: Priya enrolled with an RTO that was later sanctioned by ASQA for poor assessment practices, putting her visa at risk.
Solution: Our ASQA compliance checker would have flagged the RTO's previous non-compliances. Priya transferred to a Tier 1 provider (MDPA 88/100).
Outcome: Completed qualification with valid assessment, secured permanent residency pathway through aged care skilled migration.
We rate RTOs using Multi-Dimensional Provider Assessment (MDPA), a 100-point scoring system across 5 criteria:
Our methodology aligns with ASQA's Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015, specifically:
We verify all compliance data against the ASQA National Register and cross-reference with enforcement action reports published quarterly.
All data is verified from primary sources. We do not rely on third-party aggregators or unverified claims. Pricing data is updated quarterly, and ASQA status is checked monthly.
We maintain strict editorial independence:
This site provides educational information only. We are not a training provider and do not offer CHC43015 courses. Always verify RTO status with ASQA before enrolling.
MDPA scores are based on publicly available data and our assessment methodology. Scores may change as new information becomes available. Last updated: November 2025.
