Funded Activity Summary

Factors influencing workforce attrition of Australian radiation therapists. There are major international shortages of radiation therapists, acutely so in Australia. These shortages lead to long delays for radiotherapy cancer treatment and cause some patients to undertake less suitable forms of treatment. An innovative Australia-wide study of working and recently separated radiation therapists will be carried out, providing a unique opportunity to study an entire profession, integrating a range of frameworks. The theoretical model developed will lead to the formation of recommendations and strategies aimed at improving retention of radiation therapists in the workforce. This will result in improved staffing and reduced waiting lists for cancer treatment.
