A webinar recording of the GOLTC Workforce Capacity and Capability Interest Group webinar from September 17, 2025

Delivering high-quality care starts with having the right skills in the right roles. As the aged care sector responds to a growing population with increasingly complex needs, understanding future skill and competency requirements is essential. This webinar will explore which areas of the workforce are most likely to require upskilling and how providers can prepare now to meet tomorrow’s care challenges—while also supporting job satisfaction and workforce stability.
