Have your say on supporting the home care workforce by 20 May 2022

Published 18th May 2022

The Department of Health wants to understand the experiences of personal care workers and providers caring for senior Australians at home.

You can help shape the new Home Care Workforce Support Program which aims to grow the workforce by around 13,000 new personal care workers within 2 years.

Share your feedback and experience on existing activities by completing either:

• Home care provider survey: explores home care workforce processes and needs and how the program can better meet these needs.
• Personal care worker survey: looks at personal care workers, allied health assistants and enrolled nurses’ tasks, and their views on their job, training and working conditions.

The surveys close on 20 May 2022.
