Aged care labour agreements to support migrant communities

Members of Migration Alliance might remember the surveys and submissions we made on the "Caregiver Programme":

and

Finally, Immigration have brought in aged care labour agreements to support migrant communities.

Aged care providers are now able to hire overseas workers with specialised skills that will support older Australians from multicultural backgrounds.

Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs David Coleman said these special visa arrangements will allow aged care facilities to access a personalised visa arrangement to hire employees with the skills to cater for the needs of their communities' elderly.

"Australia has a long and proud history of migration. Aged care providers have identified a need for bilingual carers, as elderly people or those with dementia may revert to their native language or lose the ability to speak a second language," Mr Coleman said.

"This visa arrangement demonstrates the Government's commitment to migrant communities and those organisations who care for Australia's elderly. It will greatly assist them in finding the right staff to deliver vital aged care services."

"Company specific labour agreements will enable aged care providers to deliver specialised services that better understand a residents' cultural needs."

    Indonesian nurses wanting 1-2 years experience in Australia would be prefect for this sector. Indonesian are naturally caring, kind and respectful of the elderly.
