Home Care Workforce Support Program
This project received grant funding by the Australian Government
We will support home care providers with activities to:
1. Attract and recruit new personal care workers to the sector through:
- Promotional activities to raise awareness of career opportunities in the sector
- Screening potential workers for the right skills and attributes
2. Support new personal care workers to complete high-quality training including:
- Facilitating access to subsidies to support training
- Supporting high-quality work placement opportunities in-home care settings or combined with residential care settings
3. Upskill the existing workforce
The Home Care Workforce Support Program Queensland is supporting the aged care sector to grow the home care workforce by 2,400 workers over the next 2 years.
Why Is It Important?
The Home Care Workforce Support Program will help senior Australians to remain independent at home by growing the home care workforce. This will allow people to access safe, high-quality home care services where and when they need them.
