Community Service Providers Battle Dire Workforce Shortages Due to COVID-19
Community Service Providers around the country are reporting significant difficulties retaining staff and filling vacancies. What was initially considered a challenge has now become a workforce crisis in need of immediate remedy and commitment to overcome longstanding problems exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The direct workforce providing non-clinical care, are instrumental in supporting the ageing population with activities of daily living, such as personal care, social support, cleaning, respite, transportation or help around the home if living independently.
When organisations dedicated to serving vulnerable populations can’t secure a skilled workforce to provide vital services, their communities suffer.
