2012 National Aged Care Workforce Census and Survey – The Aged Care Workforce, 2012 – Final Report
The Aged Care Workforce Census and Survey informs workforce planning on issues surrounding the recruitment and retention, training and education, carer development and employment conditions of the aged care workforce. It provides a comprehensive profile of the aged care workforce which spans almost a decade.
The 2012 report incorporates data from Departmental funded census and surveys conducted in 2003 (residential aged care) and 2007 (residential and community aged care).
The results of the 2012 Census and Survey are outlined in the 2012 National Aged Care Workforce Census and Survey – The Aged Care Workforce, 2012 – Final Report.
