Our National College Australia (NCA) Story

National College Australia was established in 2003 by KinCare, a leading provider of aged care services in Australia. KinCare was founded by a registered nurse who is passionate about helping others and believes that education is the key to improving communities and making a difference. These values remain an important part of who we are today.

Our association with KinCare means we grow up in the industry. It's what we know and what we do best. We pride ourselves on building strong relationships with networks, employers, workers and clients in the community services sector. This knowledge and experience allows us to deliver high-quality courses that give our students the best possible chance of success.
