New models of replacement care for working carers

该项目旨在调查替代护理安排，以支持残疾人、慢性病患者或老年亲属的不同非正式护理者群体参与当代澳大利亚的有偿工作。使用混合的方法，实地试验和创新的概念方法，重点是时间同步性，它将产生关键的新知识的特点和有效性的可持续替代护理模式，使护理人员进入或增加有偿工作，并保持工作/护理平衡。显著的好处包括改善老年人、残疾人和护理人员的服务模式和政策，以提高妇女的劳动力参与率，提高国家生产力，改善护理人员的福祉。

This project aims to investigate the replacement care arrangements that will support different groups of informal carers of a person with a disability, chronic illness or older relative to participate in paid work in contemporary Australia. Using mixed methods, field trials, and an innovative conceptual approach focused on time synchronicity, it will generate critical new knowledge about the characteristics and effectiveness of sustainable replacement care models that enable carers to enter or increase paid work and maintain work/care balance. Significant benefits include improving aged, disability and carer service models and policies to enhance women’s workforce participation, boost national productivity, and improve carer wellbeing.
