A key reason driving the Australian nursing shortage is that nurses are being called upon to occupy more diverse roles than ever before. Australia’s ageing population, increasing rates of chronic disease and greater prevalence of mental health issues mean that our healthcare services are under greater pressure, with nurses needing to adapt to these new environments.

Throughout the pandemic, tens of thousands of nurses have left their existing roles to help administer COVID-19 tests and vaccines. Even more are being asked to assist in aged or eldercare, leaving residents unable to be cared for.
