The Reimagined Personal Care Worker Discussion Paper
Please find below The Reimagined Personal Care Worker discussion paper prepared by the Centre for Workforce Futures at Macquarie University and SkillsIQ Limited on behalf of the Aged Services IRC.
The paper is seeking to ask questions of stakeholders framed around three key areas:
- The breadth of care recipients’ needs
- The range and complexity of the skills and capabilities required to meet those needs
- The extent to which an individual worker can meet those needs versus the scope of the role as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

Could please send your responses to patrick.cummings@skillsiq.com.au by Monday, 27 July 2020.
