Australia is now in need of more international nurses to cope with the country's nursing shortage
Healthcare is Australia's largest and fastest-growing industry, especially when it comes to nurse demand. As a result of an aging population and shrinking health sector, maintaining a healthcare workforce in Australia is a major challenge. Within the next two decades, Australia's healthcare system is expected to face a nursing shortage.
The combination of an aging population and rapid population expansion has created a problem for nursing recruiters. The State of the World's Nursing 2020 Report highlights critical suggestions and calls on governments to increase financing for nursing leadership, education, and job prospects to ensure the nursing workforce's long-term viability. To relieve the strain, the Australian Government is expanding its health care services by building more hospitals. These new hospitals will require competent, skilled personnel, necessitating an immediate recruitment effort to guarantee that all services are adequately filled. While the Government initially targeted Australian nurses, demand has grown to the point that the hunt has expanded to include skilled migrant workers.
What Does the Future Hold for Nursing in Australia?
Nurses will always be in demand in Australia. Health Workforce Australia (HWA) predicts that by 2025 there will be a shortage of over 100,000 nurses, and by 2030, there will be a shortage of over 123,000 nurses. Increasing populations and aging demographics are partly responsible for this because people live longer and require more healthcare as they age.
According to a detailed workforce modeling research released today, the Australian Government and healthcare system hope to reduce this gap to around 35,000 by 2025.
There are excellent career opportunities for overseas nurses, whether they have advanced skills and expertise or need to learn new ones. Overseas nurses must be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) to work in Australia. This institution is responsible for registering nurses and midwives and is associated with the Australian Health Practitioners Registration Agency (AHPRA).
