Workforce Resources

Aged & Community Services SA & NT (ACS), with funding from the Home and Community Care Project, have developed two workforce resources for job seekers and current employers in the aged and community care sector. The resources were developed in consultation with the sector and many of the best practice examples and case studies were contributed by individual organisations.

Working and Learning in Aged & Community Care provides information about the type of paid and volunteer work available. This resource is for anyone looking for flexible work which benefits others, in a sector that provides a good chance of job security. It lists some of the reasons people love working in aged and community care, valuable training courses and how to access help with study costs.

Taking Care of Workforce Business provides aged and community care employers with a wide range of initiatives to make their workplace more attractive to potential and existing staff. It comprises a package of 28 Information Sheets covering topics such as Work-Life Balance, Career Development, Workplace Flexibility, Valuing Workers and Managing Initiatives. Each topic provides information on Why would you want to do it? How would you go about it? Initiatives you could consider; Initiatives other organisations have successfully implemented; and Where you can get more information.
