Workforce retention
Aged care workforce retention in Australia remains a significant challenge due to factors such as high workload, low wages and limited career progression opportunities. Addressing these issues is critical to ensuring consistent, quality care for the ageing population.
Workforce retention evidence and resources
The Hub content on workforce retention is based on:
- An evidence review of published research literature outlining why workforce retention matters in aged care and the factors and strategies impacting staff retention, and evidence-based strategies to address these.
- An environmental scan for high-quality, freely accessible Australian resources to support the learning and practice needs of the sector.
This work was guided by a sector reference group and expert guest members with expertise in the topic.
