In Western Australia the healthcare industry continues to experience a skill shortage as demand continues to exceed supply. More and more organisations are voicing their concerns about attracting and retaining a qualified workforce.
Future workforce requirements
In March this year, The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the last quarterly breakdown figures for 2009 showed, in the past year, health and social service to be Australia’s biggest-employing industry (employing 1.2m) and aged care the fastest growing sector now employing a record 205,000 Australians.
Skillquest recognises the need for additional training and up skilling of staff in the health care industry if current and future needs are to be met.
Our focus in the health care industry is currently directed towards disability and aged care.
We can deliver industry related courses and nationally recognised certificates in the following fields:
