Published 24th January 2019

The three major aged care peaks are setting up a leadership group to oversee the implementation of the sector’s workforce strategy.

The Aged Care Guild, Aged & Community Services Australia and Leading Age Services Australia are committed to establishing the Aged Care Workforce Industry Council, the peaks said in a joint statement on Wednesday.

The Aged Care Workforce Strategy Taskforce led Professor John Pollaers recommended in its report A matter of care that a council made up of industry chief executives be formed to transition the industry and workforce to new standards.

The council should bring the peaks together to enable strategic leadership across the industry to accelerate implementation of the strategy in a coordinated way, according to the report.
