|||||

The full list of 5-year actions can be downloaded here. Help us learn about the residential, home and community aged care workforces  We are very pleased to support the second phase of the New Zealand Aged Care Workforce Survey. The purpose is to provide independent data on the aged care sector that can inform policy at national and organisational levels. The 2014 report, released in 2015, provided information on the workforce in aged care in New Zealand on issues such as work conditions, wages, job satisfaction and occupational health and safety.Workforce sustainability is a priority for the Kaiāwhina Workforce Action Plan.
The New Zealand Aged Care Survey is key to understanding the relationship between work and the reality of an ageing workforce as we develop and plan for a sustainable workforce that provides quality care and support. Planning how we will appropriately care for the increasing number of older people needs to be underpinned by robust research and informed analysis. The Kaiāwhina workforce has been largely invisible in planning documents due in part to the absence of coherent data. The New Zealand Aged Care Survey is critical to us helping fill that knowledge gap. This is your opportunity to have your say. The survey will capture information around who is working and what their experiences are – giving an overall picture of the New Zealand aged care workforce. This development supports the progress in achieving the following Outcomes
