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.

澳大利亚对老年护理服务的需求已达到创纪录的水平，并且由于人口老龄化，这一需求将急剧上升。生产力委员会确定该行业需要提供更多护理服务、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如何扩大和改变以应对这些挑战。该项目旨在为如何在快速增长的需求环境中吸引、留住和提高技能工人提供新的证据，因为该行业努力实现可持续和熟练的劳动力，以满足澳大利亚老年人的未来需求。
