Currently showing: Supporting PNG students into Australian aged care
The Care Gap: Two Problems One Solution
On one side isAustralia:
- An ageing population, demanding more care.
- Aged care homes struggling to find and keep qualified, compassionate staff.
- Burnout, high turnover, and not enough Certificate III qualified workers.
Without enough trained people on the floor, promises of dignity and person-centred care are hard to keep.
On the other side isPapua New Guinea:
- Young people full of energy, heart and resilience.
- Limited access to quality training and clear, reliable job pathways.
- Motivated youth with crisis level unemployment, seeking career pathway.
We see two shortages: A shortage of carers in Australia and a shortage of opportunity in PNG.
Our program is the bridge:
One solution that addresses both problems.
