[Australia.com compiled report] Since existing medical and elderly care practitioners find it difficult to continue to deal with shift work, the Australian government promises to provide overseas-trained medical staff with more convenient ways to come to Australia to relieve the pressure on domestic nursing staff.
The Times reported that Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese issued a statement after the cabinet meeting on September 30, saying that the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority will "simplify and speed up skills and qualification certification while maintaining appropriate levels of safety and quality."
Acting CEO of Australian College of Nursing Yvonne Mckinlay said during last month’s Employment and Skills Summit that red tape has hindered Australia’s growth in the global competition for nurses.
Albanes said on the 30th that the national cabinet agreed to an independent and leading rapid review of the regulatory environment for trained health professionals in Australia and overseas, which will be reported in early 2023. Australian hospitals and elderly care facilities are working to fill shifts amid a global shortage of nurses, amid a global shortage of nurses, which is even worse during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the new minimum staffing regulations will increase this pressure.
The Ministry of Health’s model shows that in order to meet the federal government’s commitment to require a registered nurse to be present at nursing homes for 16 hours a day by October 2023, an additional 14,000 nurses are needed. To achieve the promise of equipping one registered nurse in every nursing home 24/7 starting from July 2023, about 2,500 nurses are needed. (Compiled by Wang Yuqing)
