- Title
Lost opportunities with Australia's health workforce?
- Authors
Leach, Matthew J.; Segal, Leonie; May, Esther
- Abstract
The article focuses on the qualifications and employment status of 12 health professions involved in the primary care of people with chronic disease using data collected in the 2006 Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) census on population and housing. As of August 2010, there have been concerns over the capacity of the health workforce in Australia to meet increasing demands for health care. One strategy being used to improve workforce supply is the recruitment of overseas-trained health care professionals.
