SUMMIT
Recruiting, retaining and developing the backbone of Australia's healthcare system
18 - 20 June 2024
Sydney / Eora
The creation of a sustainable nursing workforce will be vital to upholding Australia's high healthcare standards and improving them to address future needs. Creating this workforce is no easy feat and the challenges to doing so are well documented; less so are the various ways in which different organisations have been rising to overcome these challenges.
Come together as a community in June to hear from colleagues across the nation about how they've been enhancing their recruitment, strengthening retention and developing their staff to achieve exemplary outcomes.
