What our workforce needs

We know we need to support workers throughout their career. Focusing on a single element like recruiting new workers is not enough.

During consultations for this second RAP, we heard from the sector that we need to:

  • retain skilled and experienced workers by supporting wellbeing and improving pay and conditions
  • attract new workers who reflect the communities they serve,
  • address the workforce supply challenges for rural/regional services
  • improve entry pathways and work readiness, as well as specialist practice skill development
  • improve mobility between community services sectors
  • collect and analyse workforce data to inform investment and workforce planning
  • make clearer pathways through the vocational and tertiary education to job roles
  • develop our highly skilled and diverse workforce over time.
