Caregiving is mostly an aged care or rest home work. It pays minimum wage, rostered shift and usually if ur australian pwdi for drop outs meaning no degree necessary or as part time work for uni students.
1caregiver sa rest home can have 6-8 oldies to wash or bath, feed and care for.
1is to1 sa i.c.u lng yan for nurses. Kahit ward nurse 1:5 pts nga eh.
Pero ewan kung bakit if foreigner nag-aaply they have to take a certificate course to get this job.
I dont see a demand for this in our hospital ( im a nurse here in i.cu.) We dont have caregivers. We have tech aide yung taga restock ng gamit, taga bigay ng meals and help with bedmaking ( mostly south americans and some pinays do it.. No degree necessary. )
Live in care is more like babysitting.. Lower than minimum wage coz u are living for free.
Respite care for those who are disabled.. Hindi yan live in. The govt only pay 4 hrs per week for disabled people on respite. Requirement is u need to have full drivers license and ur own car to do respite care and a certificate in caregiving.
I dont see a demand for that either. Community nurses usually do that anyway.
Hope that helps😉
