Australia’s shortage of aged care workers has doubled to 35,000 in less than a year, according to a new report, which recommends that the government attracts overseas immigrants into the industry.
The ‘Duty of Care: Aged Care Sector in Crisis’ report released by The Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) on June 28 shows that government inaction and the challenges posed by the pandemic have worsened the staff shortage crisis in the aged care industry.
