New campaign for Aged Care Workforce Industry Council aims to boost workforce
The Aged Care Workforce Industry Council (ACWIC) is calling for Australians to consider bringing their talents and passions into a career in aged care.
The campaign is part of the the ACWIC’s efforts to triple the aged care workforce in Australia to over one million workers by 2050. The industry currently sits at just over 366,000 people.
The campaign also follows the final report of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, which found that Australia needs aged care reform that would allocate care according to the needs and preferences of older Australians, whether it be in the home or in residential care.
