Achieving a Skilled and Sustainable Aged Care Workforce for Australia

澳大利亚对老年护理服务的需求已达到创纪录的水平，并将因人口老龄化而急剧上升。生产力委员会确定该部门需要提供更多的护理服务，扩大以消费者为导向的护理，并提高护理质量。 目前，几乎没有证据表明劳动力可以如何扩大和改变，以应对这些挑战。该项目旨在提供新的证据，说明如何在需求迅速扩大的环境中吸引、留住和提高工人的技能，因为该部门努力实现可持续的、熟练的劳动力，以适应澳大利亚老年人未来的需求。

Demand for aged care services in Australia has reached record levels and is set to rise steeply due to population ageing. The Productivity Commission identified the sector’s need to provide more care services, to expand consumer-directed care and to improve the quality of care. Currently, there is little evidence as to how the workforce can expand and change to meet these challenges. This project aims to provide new evidence on how to attract, retain and up-skill workers in a rapidly expanding demand environment, as the sector strives to achieve a sustainable and skilled workforce fit for the future needs of older Australians.
