Funded Activity Summary

The 'health' of Australia's professions: Teaching, nursing and policing as effective professions. If Australia is to have a place as a 21st century nation it must be supported by an effective public service. In Western Australia, teachers, nurses and police make up 70% of the public service. The effectiveness of these services is a direct function the 'health' of these occupations and the ?health? of the organisations employing teachers, nurses and police. Nonetheless, there has been little systematic inquiry into this area. This research will develop the concept of the ?health? of a profession comprising both perspectives, and use this to develop and test a comprehensive instrument for the ongoing monitoring of the ?health? of the teaching, nursing and policing professions.
