Regional, Rural and Remote Home Care Workforce Support Program
Tender ID: 573069
Tender Details
Tender Description
The purpose of this grant opportunity is to focus on building the home care workforce in regional, rural, and remote locations (Modified Monash Model (MMM) 3 to 7 areas) where workforce shortages are the most acute by providing funding for an additional 4,000 Personal Care Workers (PCWs) to be engaged in these regions.
The grant opportunity will also support aged care providers to build their capacity to expand their own local workforce as well as assist PCWs to develop the necessary skills and training required to work in the sector.
The Department anticipates delivery of the Program in several regions of acute workforce need. Eligible applicants are expected to nominate a Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) region, or regions, within MMM 3 to 7 areas to deliver the program. Applicants may apply to deliver grant activities in more than one region.
While this grant opportunity focuses on the aged care workforce, the disability support and veterans’ workforces may also benefit where providers also deliver these services.
