Attracting and Retaining Practitioners in Child and Family Services in Rural Queensland: Generating a Model for Improved Practice

这项研究调查了昆士兰农村地区儿童和家庭福利从业人员的招聘和留住问题。这项研究分为两个阶段：第一个阶段是确定社会工作和公共服务专业最后一年级学生对农村实践的看法和经验，第二个阶段是为农村社区现有的儿童和家庭从业者探索问题。这项研究力求制定战略，以提高这些职位的招聘和保留率，并发展一种儿童和家庭农村实践理论。

This study examines the problem of recruitment and retention of practitioners working in child and family welfare in rural Queensland. The study has two phases: first to determine the views and experiences of final year social work and human services students about rural practice and second to explore issues for existing child and family practitioners in rural communities. The study seeks to generate strategies to increase recruitment and retention rates to these positions and to develop a theory of child and family rural practice.
