Funded Activity Summary
Optimising the residential and community aged care workforce: the evidence-based development of clinical leadership in middle managers in aged care. 1.4% of the Australian workforce is employed in the aged care sector, making a significant contribution to the economy. This study provides evidence-based tools to build management capacity and leadership in aged care, which in turn will improve the quality and effectiveness of the care that has a crucial bearing on the lives of vulnerable older people in community and residential care. The findings will identify ways to improve aged care workforce retention; and enhance key factors leading to quality care and improved well being of care staff and recipients. This knowledge will contribute to improving the status of aged care related employment; and yield future policy directions that promote effective clinical leadership in aged care.Funded Activity Details
