“I wanted to have a career change; I liked the class schedule, which is 2 ½ days a week. That meant I could spend time with my family and have a job for the rest of the week. I also like the environment for learning, being that it was an easier transition from being a mother to an adult student.”
“The Diploma of Business helped me gain the knowledge I needed to achieve my personal best and to be successful. I gained acceptance into the University of my choice thanks to Careers Australia.”
The crisis in the health workforce is creeping up on us.
January 2009 | "The crisis in the health workforce is creeping up on us. Australia today has a shortfall of 1,300 doctors and 13,000 nurses. Of those nurses that we do have, 20 percent of them are aged over 55 - which means that one fifth of our current workforce of nurses is about to retire."
