"In a country like Australia, we all expect that when we get old, we’ll be able
to rely on a robust aged care system. But aged care providers can’t find staff
and a crisis is brewing.
If the problem isn’t fixed, there are serious risks to quality and access to
services for older people who need support. There are also broader social,
economic and political consequences for undervaluing the rapidly expanding
health and social assistance workforce.
Aged care employs around 420,000 people. Around 80% of those are front line
staff providing care and demand for them is increasing rapidly."
