The first 12 of 35 coordinators have been employed under their new $33 million Boosting The Local Care Workforce Program.
Their job is to help increase the disability and aged care workforces by “building sector capability and linking job seekers to sector employers”.
“These locally based coordinators understand the challenges and experiences of providers and participants on the ground” says Paul Fletcher (pictured), Minister for Families and Social Services.
The first group of coordinators will be based in Hobart, Launceston, Perth, Darwin, Adelaide, Mt Gambier, Bunbury, Sydney and the Blue Mountains/Central West NSW regions”.
