Abstract: The supply, retention and distribution of a quality nursing workforce is critical to ensure Australians have access to health and aged care, when and where they need it. The nursing supply and demand study projects the supply and demand of Australia’s nurses until 2035 across all sectors and geographical levels. The results of the study predict an undersupply of nurses over the next 12 years, which indicates Australia may not have the number of nurses required to keep pace with the demand for nursing services in the community overall.
