Q1: Are there other design considerations that could further strengthen Jobs and Skills Australia's ability to provide advice to government?
-
Response:
Linkages to University course guidance aligned with skills shortages. We specifically seek Mental Health Nursing but Australia does not have a Degree in Mental Health nursing, it is a post graduate course which further restricts and lengthens the availability of skilled professionals in this space. The UK for example has a dedicated BA Psychiatric Nursing. This greatly enhance the skills training and availability of International professionals. We do have transition programs for Australian Nurses but it can take up to 2 years to become fully qualified and trained in the space we require.
