The care economy serves as a cornerstone of Tasmania’s commitment to equitable health care and social welfare for all its residents. Not only is it the state’s largest employment sector, but it is also projected to grow significantly in the coming decades. However, as Tasmania strives to meet the rising demands of this critical industry, its care workforce faces substantial challenges.

The industry launch event will showcase the comprehensive research study convened by the Workforce Coordination Project, a funded project of Skills Tasmania, which examined the unique dynamics and obstacles faced by Tasmania’s care workforce across aged care, disability, education and care, and social services during 2022-24.
