Explore a new Visa pathway for your care workforce with the new Industry-wide Labour Agreement that simplifies the process and reduces the cost of attracting care workers. This pathway also entails the approval of granting care workers with a 482 working Visa as long as they have a Certificate III. However, most workers are not fit for this since this is an Australian qualification. Workers still need to undertake a Certificate III offshore.
If a care worker doesn’t have a Certificate III, the provider shall prove at least two years of relevant work skills. After only two years on the Temporary Skill Shortage Visa 482, care workers can apply for Permanent Residency via Subclass 186 Visa.

Groworx is currently building a solution to bundle the international recruitment, deployment, and local training (if required) of international candidates.
Hospitality Workers
Filipinos are known for their hospitality. Groworx can provide Care Workers with specialised skills in cooking, housekeeping, maintenance, and others.
Allied Health Professionals
Groworx will recruit Allied Health Professionals (Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist, Radiographers, etc.) in the the Philippines to be deployed in Australia’s care facility as Care Workers initially. This will give them the opportunity to take Australian regulatory requirements while already in-country. The specialised role in which they can be deployed will depend on the outcome of various regulatory assessments respective to their roles.
How Does Our Global Training Work?
RTO - Registered Training Organisations
One essential requirement for Care Workers is to have a Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing). This course can only be conducted by an RTO accredited by ASQA (Australian Skills Quality Authority). Our RTO partners have years of experience in the industry and have been vetted by top Providers.
Medical Tutors
While the Cert III course can only be conducted by RTOs, they cannot be present physically on-site. This remote learning is reinforced by the physical facilitation of our Medical Tutors. These Tutors, while not aged care practitioners, are Filipino RNs (Registered Nurses) who have had not only clinical experience but also teaching experience. They assist the RTO in ensuring that the class is enagaged and each learner’s questions are answered.
Training Centers
The Groworx Training Centres are state-of-the art facilities that exceeds industry standards. These training centres are situated in the same facilities where BPO companies operate and as such are afforded the same quality expected from Fortune 500 companies (typhoon proof, fire proof, earthquake proof, etc.).
Groworx facilities and equipments are ASQA approved, ensuring high standards of training.
We Deploy Workers In Regional & Rural Areas In Australia
To better support the local needs of regional Australia, Groworx is building hubs in regions that want to participate in our International Care Worker Program.
This allows for smaller Providers to join the program normally reserved for larger Providers, making this solution economically viable for all.
These hubs include local Area Community Managers to help with the onboarding and ongoing pastoral care of care workers arriving in Australia.
What Makes Filipinos Great Care workers?
Filipinos are recognized around the world for their outstanding service and care to the elderly. They have a proven cultural fit at scale in the Australian aged and disability care sector, produce the largest number of nursing graduates in the world, and have a nationalized OFW program that encourages workers to live abroad to remit money back to their families. Their English language fit is the best in the Asian region, and they are a young nation with one of the highest fertility rates in the world.
Filipinos lead English language in Asia
At Number 2 in English in Asia, Filipinos make for great care workers in Australia and abroad.
Why birth rates matter?
Developing countries with high birth rates are supporting developed countries like Australia who have low birth rates.
Our International Care worker program is so popular, we are now training and deploying busloads of care workers every month to Australian providers, large and small.
