Description

Future-proofing Australia’s care economy: A relational mobilities approach. This project aims to investigate the experiences of Australia’s migrant and mobile health workforce in the context of severe worker shortages worldwide. It will explore how healthcare workers’ family relationships and informal care responsibilities shape their migration decisions, experiences in the workplace and plans for the future. Expected outcomes include a comprehensive evidence-base about healthcare workers' experiences of mobility, care, knowledge and skills to inform sustainable and person-centred policy solutions. The project should yield significant benefit by maximising Australia’s capacity to attract and retain a highly mobile workforce and their transnational knowledge and expertise to meet Australia’s growing care needs..
