Royal College of Nursing appointed to help administer aged care component of the workforce

The Royal College of Nursing Australia has been appointed to administer the $6.9 million aged care component of the ‘Bringing Nurses Back into the Workforce’ program. 

The Minister for Ageing, Justine Elliot, has announced that the Royal College of Nursing Australia would assess applications from returning nurses and coordinate the payments to eligible nurses and aged care providers. 

The ‘Bringing Nurses Back into the Workforce’ program is part of a $138.9 million measure to bring 8,750 extra nurses into the Australian health and ageing workforce within five years, as well as funding up to an extra 1,170 university nursing places a year.
