Northern Sydney Regional Forum:
Building an aged care workforce fit for current and future demand.
Date: Thursday 9 June 2022
Time: 9.30am - 1.30pm
Location: Norths, 12 Abbott Street, Cammeray
The past 2 years have been busy for frontline workers, and leaders of Aged Care. Community organisations have been forced to adapt swiftly to both environmental and health challenges while preparing for the future reforms from the Royal Commission. However, acute workforce issues across the Sector remain a key challenge, today and into the future.
As Australia is facing a potential shortage of at least 110,000 direct aged-care workers within the next decade, how can we work together to build an Aged Care workforce that meets current and future demand for quality care?
Join Tracey Spicer, Award winning author, journalist and broadcaster and Your Side Ambassador for a morning of learning and exchange about workforce planning, models of learning and development, supervision, upskilling and more. With speakers from a variety of sectors, including Aged and Community Care, Employment Services, Training, and HR services, this Forum will aim at presenting and discussing practical solutions that providers can apply in the short term and plan to implement in the long term.
Participants will also have the opportunity to interact directly with speakers on what they need and how organisations who deliver training and recruitment can support them in attracting and retaining their workforce.
Who should attend the Regional Forum?
This event is for CEOs, Board members, Managers, Coordinators, Team Leaders, Case Managers who are interested in learning from various stakeholders and engaging actively with other organisations/providers to explore solutions to the Aged Care workforce challenge.
