The New Zealand Aged Care Workforce Survey
The demand for an aged care workforce in New Zealand is predicted to increase significantly in the near and long term future. At the same time, pay conditions for employees in the sector have come under scrutiny. This survey questioned both employees and managers in residential and home/community aged care about who is working, and what their experiences are.
