Welcome to VACET, the Victorian Aged Care Education and Training platform

This platform is for people who work in a residential aged care service and would like to learn more about providing care in an aged care setting. This includes personal care attendants, nurses and allied health staff. 

If you work in Home and Community Care you may also find some of the modules useful and the strategies helpful.


Our aim is to improve the lives of older people living in residential aged care by ensuring that carers have increased knowledge and confidence to provide evidence-based care in these settings, noting that some content is applicable to home and community care.. 


Our initial focus was on three key areas, as well as a spanning module on Communication in Aged Care. The three key areas are:

  • Dementia Care
  • Recognising and providing a palliative response to care
  • Oral hygiene and links to health and well-being

We now have included more modules!  

  • Continence care
  • Applied Communication
  • Introduction to aged care (pre-placment)
  • Reablement

  • Restrictive Practices
  • Medication Safety

Coming soon two new modules!

  • Introduction to Diabetes
  • Recognition and Mangement of hypoglycaemia
  • Sexuality and intimacy

When registering please remember to check the box next to your role. This helps us to know who our users are so we can tailor content accordingly. 

Thank you - enjoy your learning journey with us.
