Cavalli College is proud to strengthen its commitment to the future of healthcare in Aotearoa by offering significantly reduced study fees for domestic learners enrolling in selected Health and Wellbeing programmes this July. This offer is available for a limited time only and applies to July 2025 enrolments.
As New Zealand’s population continues to age, the demand for qualified, compassionate support workers is growing rapidly. By 2036, around 23% of New Zealanders will be aged 65 or over — a notable increase from 14% in 2013. Looking further ahead, the number of older people living with a disability is projected to rise by 60% by 2051.
As of January 2018:
- Around 16,000 staff were employed in in-home care settings
- Approximately 22,000 caregivers were working in aged residential care facilities
These figures will only rise — and with them, the need for qualified professionals equipped with the skills, empathy, and cultural understanding to meet the complex needs of our communities.
Under the Care and Support Workers (Pay Equity) Settlement Agreement, employers are required to support their staff in gaining formal NZQA qualifications within set timeframes. Cavalli College offers a meaningful opportunity to meet these requirements while contributing to the future of health and wellbeing in Aotearoa.
For a limited time, Cavalli College is offering reduced tuition fees for its July 2025 domestic student intakes:
- New Zealand Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Advanced Care and Support) (Level 4), 35 weeks duration, $795
- New Zealand Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Level 3) – Health Assistance Strand, 18 weeks duration, $395
These programmes provide learners with the knowledge and tools needed to deliver high-quality care, support, and wellbeing of every individual in their care. Students will gain a deep understanding of communication in healthcare, ethical practice, and the importance of culturally appropriate person-centred care.
Whether you’re already working in the sector or looking to begin a new and rewarding career path, now is the perfect time to start. Study through a flexible blended delivery mode that combines online learning, real-world workplace experience, and pastoral wrap-around support, ensuring you gain both the skills and confidence to thrive in the healthcare sector.
