Show Notes
Leaders from health, aged care, and education sectors gather in South Australia to address the escalating elderly care crisis, focusing on rapidly preparing new nurses. The roundtable, hosted by ACH Group, emphasizes the urgent need to attract and retain nursing staff amid a predicted shortage of over seventy thousand full-time nurses by 2035. Industry experts and politicians agree on the need for more hands-on experience in university training, suggesting students work as carers while studying. Health Minister Chris Picton highlights the importance of linking health and aged care systems, announcing a two hundred fifty million dollar loan program to add six hundred fifty new beds if re-elected. Simultaneously, the government eases access to ADHD diagnosis and treatment, training one hundred general practitioners and pledging more funds for training if re-elected.
