Overseas staff to start in aged care in July
A Woy Woy aged care home expects the first of new staff from overseas to start in late July.
"We have been progressing for several months with a program to facilitate some overseas fully trained staff to join our team," said Blue Wave Living chief executive Mr Matt Downie.
"This is also a major challenge within our industry.
"There is simply not enough trained staff out there to fill all required roles.
"Part of the recent federal budget announcements included an announcement on a specific industry workforce agreement to help facilitate and speed up this process, which was very welcome news.
"We look forward to welcoming them to our team."
