Different problems, different solutions
Rural aged care facilities face unique challenges in attracting and retaining staff. Not only do they have a smaller local talent pool, but staff often experience higher rates of isolation and burnout compared to facilities in bigger cities. Often the demands of a regional aged care facility mean staff like Registered Nurses prefer to work in other healthcare settings.
​​
All of this means rural aged care facilities are some of the hardest environments to meet RN and Care Minute targets and maintain the quality care they wish to offer their residents.
At WRK4CE, we understand these challenges and offer tailored solutions to address the specific needs of regional providers.
The Rural Aged Care Landscape
Rural aged care providers often encounter:
-
Difficulty attracting skilled staff
-
Limited access to large talent pools
-
High turnover rates due to isolation and burnout
-
A shortage of housing options when relocating staff from other cities
-
Challenges in meeting mandatory care minute targets
-
Competition with other healthcare sectors for available staff
WRK4CE offers comprehensive solutions designed specifically for rural aged care providers:
R
Real Talent: We source qualified and experienced international staff and screen thoroughly to remove those that pose a flight risk or won't adjust to a rural lifestyle.
O
Ongoing Relocation & Housing Support: We work with our network to ease the relocation process. We will support staff from arriving at the airport, opening a local bank account, getting private health insurance and finding housing and schooling.
E
Easy Visa & Registration Support: Our team ensures all nurses are AHPRA registered before being put forward and will meet the compliance standards for the relevant visas.
T
Tailored Hiring Models: If you are uncomfortable sponsoring the visas of staff, we can sponsor their visa. We offer a range of hiring and pricing models to reduce your risk and overhead.
M
Mandatory Training: Through a series of training modules, we prepare nurses for the transition to work in the Australian aged care system and for life in rural Australia.
E
Easing the Settling Process: We provide ongoing assistance to ensure smooth integration of new staff into your facility and help them build strong ties with local community, reducing the potential for isolation and flight risk.
