Nurses and health professionals from overseas look set to play a key role in fending off shortfalls of workers in the Australian health sector, according to recent findings.

Recently released figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show the number of overseas born nurses and health professionals has increased in recent years. The data also shows that 33 per cent of nurses in Australia were born overseas in 2011, compared with 25 per cent in 2001.

Most of these have arrived in Australia in the last five years. The proportion of nurses born overseas who were recent arrivals has increased from 9 per cent in 2001 to 19 per cent in 2011.

The findings also show that new source countries are playing a growing role in supplying Australia’s nursing and health care professionals, with the geographic profile of nurses arriving in Australia also changing. The proportion of overseas born nurses from the UK has decreased from 36 per cent to 26 per cent between 2001 and 2011. The proportion of overseas born nurses from India increased from 2 per cent in 2001 to 8 per cent in 2011, one of the largest proportional increases over this period.

The findings appear to be confirmed by recent developments in New South Wales. More than 100 people from the southern Indian state of Kerala recently joined the Orange Health

Service and the Bloomfield campus in NSW following a recruitment drive aimed at attracting international workers.

Member of the Orange Malayali Association (OMA) executive Sabu Joseph reportedly said his organisation represents 250 people from Kerala and he estimated at least 110 of them were employed in the healthcare sector in Orange and surrounding areas such as Molong.

The ABS also found the medical workforce remains unevenly distributed between the states and territories, and particularly between major cities and remote areas. In 2011, South Australia had the highest rate of nurses, with 1,451.6 per 100,000 persons, followed by the Northern Territory at 1,328.2. Western Australia had the lowest ratio of nurses, with 1,069.4 per 100,000 persons.

Australian dietitians must learn the lessons of the profession’s past so they can confront its future challenges, according to a leading dietitian.

Professor Susan Ash, an Adv APD and Fellow of the Dietitians Association of Australia, said it’s important dietitians understand how dietetics began in Australia in the 1930s, and grew almost from an exclusively female profession, as they now work to combat the challenges of tomorrow.

Professor Ash said passionate leadership, the importance placed on standards of training of dietitians and a very strong professional association all contributed to the profession’s success.

“It just seemed to me that the seeds of our success today were sown in the past by those three key things,” she said.

“I suppose the most important thing was the leadership and vision by a small group of women mostly at that time and how they established a strong association and also lobbied very hard to have the right standards of training in place.

“It’s allowed the profession to grow to be an extremely vibrant profession.”

A Professor in Nutrition and Dietetics at the Queensland University of Technology, Professor Ash will speak on the topic at the DAA’s 30th national conference in Canberra from May 23-25, with the conference theme ‘reflections for the challenges of tomorrow’.

Professor Ash said dietetics was created at a time when women didn’t attend university and there was no professional association.

“As a western culture we don’t value older people often and sometimes it’s important to hold up and show the young people just how extraordinary the older people were,” she said.

“In their youth, they did extraordinary things and took more risks than a lot of young people do today.

“It’s important to let young people know it’s okay to take risks and to go out there and to try and do the right thing.”

Professor Ash said it was also essential to understand how the profession was forged as other countries in South East Asia, such as Vietnam and Thailand, work to establish their own dietetics professions.

“We are looking to South East Asia and trying to assist countries there to establish their own professional association and also develop training for dietitians,” she said.

“In some of those countries there’s no profession of dietetics. It’s like going back to the 1920s in Australia.

“They are facing exactly the same barriers and problems. I think our experience can inform them.

“As much as I think they will do things their own way, as a first world country we can assist them not to make the same mistakes that were made in our experience.”

Professor Ash said the profession faced future challenges ranging from the increase in lifestyle-related diseases to issues surrounding food supply both in Australia and globally.

The Mental Health Nurse Incentive Program (MHNIP) has received a $23.8 million boost in the Federal Budget.

The Australian College of Mental Health Nurses (ACMHN) and the Australian Nursing Federation welcomed the additional funding, which will ensure the equivalent of 375 mental health nurses will continue to provide clinical services and support for people with mental health issues under the program.

The boost comes after the College called for funding for the program to be uncapped amid concerns mental health patients could miss out on vital services.

The MHNIP received extra funding in last year’s Federal Budget but the ACMHN said the funds were not enough to meet demand and were effectively frozen at 2011-12 levels.

ACMHN CEO Kim Ryan said the 2013-14 budget featured a “modest increase” for the program.

“It is clear our calls have not fallen on deaf ears and we are delighted with this modest increase in funding,” Adj Associate Professor Ryan said.

“We are also pleased that the Minister (Mark Butler) has committed to working with the ACMHN and other stakeholders to consider future arrangements for the program, and we call for this work to begin immediately.”

ANF federal secretary Lee Thomas said funding for the program will maintain coordinated clinical care and support services for 60,000 people.

Ms Thomas also commended the government for extra funding for the prevention, detection and treatment of cancer, including $55 million to expand breast cancer screening for women over 70 and $19.5 million for breast care nurses working with the McGrath Foundation, taking its number of highly-trained nurses

from 44 to 57.

The budget included $226 million to improve cancer prevention, detection, treatment and research, and to provide better patient care and support.

In his budget speech, Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan said the budget built on the $3.5 billion the government has already invested in cancer prevention, detection, treatment and research.

“As a cancer survivor myself, I’ve experienced the high quality treatment provided by our health system but I know more needs to be done to prevent, detect and treat this disease,” he said.

“We continue the fight against cancer, investing over $226 million in world-leading cancer care. Investing over $100 million in screening for breast, cervical and bowel cancer.

“Supporting critical chemotherapy medicines, and investing $23.8 million for life-saving bone-marrow transplants.”

Mr Swan said the government was investing $64.6 billion in health funding, including National Health Reform funding for state and territory governments of $14 billion in 2013-14 which will grow to $19 billion in 2016-17.

The budget included $3.7 billion for the government’s Living Longer, Living Better aged care reform package, with $1.2 billion in pay rises expected to flow through to the pay packets of Australia’s 350,000 aged care nurses and workers from July.

The budget also featured an investment of $14.9 billion over seven years to fund DisabilityCare Australia, the National Disability Insurance Scheme, which will assist 460,000 Australians with significant and permanent disability in 2018-19.

Budget boost for mental health nursesby Karen Keast

For the full article visit NCAH.com.au

Legislation must be passed through parliament before the end of June for the government’s pledged $1.2 billion in pay rises to flow through to the pay packets of Australia’s 350,000 aged care nurses and workers from July.

Australian Nursing Federation assistant federal secretary Yvonne Chaperon said it’s vital the legislation is passed before June 27, parliament’s last sitting day in the lead up to the election, to ensure the government’s $3.7 billion Living Longer, Living Better aged care reform package is implemented.

“It’s really important for us that those bills go before parliament and are passed before the end of June,” she said.

“Our concerns are (if the legislation isn’t passed) that the money won’t flow and our concern is that all of the work that we have put into the Living Longer and Living Better reforms, and it’s an incredible amount of work by the aged care industry, will be lost.

“I just hope that the senate inquiry listens to all the evidence and weighs it up appropriately. We believe it’s good legislation, it’s positive for the aged care sector and we hope it’s passed.”

Ms Chaperon represented the ANF, and joined United Voice, last week to brief the government’s senate inquiry into the reforms, ahead of the bills being debated in parliament.

Ms Chaperon said despite some criticism of the plan to tie the wage rise to enterprise bargaining agreements, the measure was the best way to ensure the funds are directly passed onto workers after a similar Howard Government initiative 10 years ago failed to result in increased wages in aged care workers’ pay packets.

“It’s extremely important that this money reaches the aged care workers and we believe it is fundamental that the way this happens is through enterprise bargaining negotiations or an agreement,” she said.

“We think this is the most simple, accountable and transparent way to ensure this money is spent where the money should be spent.”

Ms Chaperon said the reforms include exemptions from enterprise bargaining agreements for providers, including facilities which have less than 50 beds.

“There are a few providers saying it’s erroneous for them because they don’t have enterprise bargaining agreements,” she said.

“We have a comprehensive database in Australia; across Australia 85 to 95 per cent of facilities around Australia have enterprise agreements.

“Those agreements are already in place. We don’t see it as erroneous; we see it as a continuing of the status quo really.

“There’s no obligation for an aged care provider to sign up to the policy.”

Ms Chaperon said the union also supported the proposal to remove the distinction between low care and high care.

“We support the removal but we don’t want these changes to be used to dictate the skills mix to nursing services provided to aged care residents,” she said.

“The removal of the distinction reflects the reality that aged care facilities have a mix of low and high care.

“We expect more nurses not less nurses to be employed in the sector. Because of the changing nature of aged care and the reforms people will be living in their homes for longer. They will have home care.

“However, when they do get to aged care facilities they are going to be older, frailer and sicker so the acuity is going to be higher.

“We are saying we want their acuity to be matched with the appropriate qualified nursing care. The same goes for home care.”

Mr Neumann, who is also chair of APA group Physiotherapy Business Australia, says a great physiotherapist also comes equipped with strong communication skills, both with the patient and with the wider health network.

He says ongoing professional development, being a good team player and having a passion for providing client care are also all essential to becoming an outstanding physiotherapist.

“You can’t really have a level level of compassion,” Mr Neumann says.

“I think it’s really important to try and do the best you can for your patient.”

Mr Whittingham agrees.

“A great physio will be really patient-centered,” he says.

“If they won’t get it done in the one treatment they will say come back again as the issue will return if it’s not dealt with.

“Sometimes you need to step back and really take the time.”

Last, but not least, a great physiotherapist is someone determined to bend over backwards to improve their skills base and their knowledge, and in doing so, becoming a leader in their field and an ambassador of the profession.

“It takes high levels of clinical reasoning to be a great physiotherapist; so using evidence based from the research and experience and knowledge from other professionals,” Mr Whittingham says.

“Great physios look at trying to push the boundaries of the profession and explore areas that haven’t been as readily documented in the profession.

“As a result they become advocates for the profession.”

The jobs outlook is shining bright in physiotherapy, which is now the third largest allied health profession in Australia. But what does it take for a physiotherapist to stand out from the crowd? The answer could be as simple as having the passion and commitment to go the extra mile, writes Karen Keast.

Australia now counts 24,502 registered physiotherapists among its ranks and the numbers are expected to swell in the coming years in line with Australia’s ageing population and the increasing incidence of chronic disease.

The Australian Government has forecast employment for physiotherapists will grow “very strong” in the next few years as well as in the long term as Australians look towards a cost-effective approach to their health prevention and treatment.

Physiotherapists are the experts when it comes to movement and function, working to assess, diagnose, treat, and to prevent disease and disability through physical means.

But what does it take to be a great physiotherapist?

Australian Physiotherapy Association ACT branch president Jason Whittingham says the difference between a good and a great physiotherapist is a great physiotherapist is someone who works with a holistic patient-centered focus.

Mr Whittingham, who has worked in physiotherapy in the public sector for the past five years, says a good physiotherapist will provide a patient who has lower back pain with an assessment, treatment and a care plan but a great physiotherapist will take “the extra little step”.

“Someone who is a great physio will look at all of the different factors that could be associated

with the lower back pain,” he says.

“We know persistent back pain can be linked to depression and social pressures can also be associated with it.

“A great physio would be someone that does a complete assessment who looks at the whole aspect of the person.

“If there are issues like depression, then that physiotherapist would assist that person to find access to the appropriate health care.”

Mr Whittingham says it’s vital for physiotherapists wanting to excel in their career to pursue ongoing professional development and to tap into the resources of the profession’s peak body, the APA.

“I think it’s helped me engage with the profession itself and given me those links to ongoing professional development and given me access to those experienced leaders of the profession,” he says.

“It’s linking in with colleagues and having mentors and more experienced professionals to assist in someone’s development.

“I think ongoing professional development is probably one of the biggest things you always need to strive for.”

Queensland physiotherapist Darrin Neumann, who has operated a private clinic in Queensland for most of his 28 years in the profession, says he looks for good character first and competency second when it comes to employing a great physiotherapist to add to his team of 12 physiotherapists and eight other allied health professionals.

“I really do think it comes down to the character first,” he says.

“It is a huge range of factors, it’s about their work ethic, it’s about honesty, it’s about the care factor and the desire to put into every patient that you see.”

What are the strengths of a great physiotherapist?

The latest figures are out on Australia’s nursing, midwifery and allied health workforce.

A raft of healthcare related projects designed to utilise the National Broadband Network (NBN) will have educational value for the healthcare sector, as well as giving state of the art healthcare delivery a far wider geographical coverage than was previously possible, according to the minister responsible for the NBN.

Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy has confirmed that a new round of funding to the tune of $20.3 million has been allocated to nine telehealth projects that will use the National Broadband Network to pilot new methods of healthcare delivery and education.

The projects will be implemented by some of Australia’s leading healthcare and research organisations and it is estimated they will collectively reach around 2,500 patients located

in 50 NBN communities.

Examples of ways in which the projects will improve delivery and ongoing professional development for health specialists include: the CSIRO delivering early intervention services to allow specialists in metropolitan hospitals to identify eye diseases in remote areas using video-conferencing and medical imaging. The project covers Western Australia and the Torres Strait communities.

The Royal District Nursing Service would also be involved, using in-home monitoring to allow nurses to support chronically ill and elderly patients and reduce the frequency of home visits; Meanwhile aged care and community services provider Feros Care would help seniors to stay at home longer through daily monitoring of their wellbeing.

WE OFFER:













Kathleen Baird was drawn to midwifery but a requirement to achieve a nursing degree before becoming a midwife was a disincentive and so she instead became an accountant and auditor.

When the three-year direct-entry midwifery degree was introduced in the United Kingdom years later, Kathleen left behind accountancy to focus on caring for pregnant women and their babies.

Fast-forward a few more years, and Dr Kathleen Baird is now a senior lecturer at Griffith University’s School of Nursing and Midwifery in Queensland, where she is helping others achieve their dreams of midwifery through their direct-entry Bachelor of Midwifery degree.

“We have lots of people like myself in the Griffith program who have had careers before and are now having a career in midwifery,” she said.

“Some of our students also hold first degrees and they have now come into doing midwifery.

“I have absolutely no regrets; it was just the right thing for me to do.”

Born in Scotland, Kathleen completed her midwifery degree in 1996 and gained experience in all areas of midwifery care before moving into training and education in the UK.

Kathleen left her teaching post at Bristol late last year to take up her position at Griffith,

where the philosophy on continuity of care is the same but it begins in the first year, not in the final year of study.

“One of the big focuses of the Griffith program is a women-centered focus with continuity of care,” she said.

“Our students follow women all of the way through their pregnancy and accompany them through their birth and follow them to the postnatal period too which is really, really important for women.

“Our students have to achieve quite a high number of continuity of care. They have got to follow up to 20 women.”

The Griffith program, which currently has about 180 students, is also more flexible, enabling either a six year part-time or three-year full-time degree.

“Really the joy of having a part-time course is it allows lots of students to study who probably wouldn’t be able to commit to full-time study; lots of mums and people who for family commitments can’t work full-time,” she said.

“It’s a blended learning approach so you do have face to face lectures but a lot of the learning is taught online and with collaborative sessions.”

Kathleen said she loved working as part of an internationally recognised program focused on delivering tomorrow’s midwives.

“I think it is watching the students develop and preparing students to be the midwives of the future,” she said.

“It’s also preparing students to be midwives who are supporting women in their choices around the kind of birth they want to have.

“Child birth is just such a major event in a woman’s life and being able to prepare students to be a part of that is just amazing – absolutely amazing.”

A career in midwifery educationby Karen Keast

This country has had a much shorter history of nursing research when compared to countries such as the USA, however Australia has really begun to catch up now, and in many areas now leads the world.

– Professor Claire Rickard, Griffith University

A Queensland nurse researcher has received international recognition for her work taking research to the bedside.

Professor Claire Rickard, of Griffith University’s Health Practice Innovation program and the School of Nursing and Midwifery, will travel to Prague, Czech Republic, in July to be inaugurated into the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame.

The announcement coincided with International Nurses’ and Midwives’ Week, celebrated around the world to mark the contribution nurses and midwives make to society, and which began with International Day of the Midwife on May 5 and culminated with International Nurses’ Day on May 12.

Professor Rickard has received widespread acclaim for her research into acute and critical care, which has been credited for significantly influencing hospital practices.

Professor Rickard, who is the CIB of the NHMRC National Centre for Research Excellence in Nursing (NCREN), has been pivotal to ground breaking research into improving the way 15 million IVs are used in Australian hospitals each year.

Studies show a third of IVs fail while in use due to dislodgement, occlusion (blocking) or

infiltration (fluids into surrounding tissue).

The centre’s researchers, who have been trialling the use of medical grade superglues to ‘glue in’ and secure IV drips, are also researching IV flushing to maintain the viability of IVs in a bid to improve patient comfort, length of treatment and escalating healthcare costs.

Professor Rickard said the award demonstrated Australian nursing’s coming of age onto the world stage.

“This country has had a much shorter history of nursing research when compared to countries such as the USA, however Australia has really begun to catch up now, and in many areas now leads the world,” she said in a statement.

“It’s a real honour to receive this award, not just for me but on behalf of my team at Griffith, my project manager Nicole Marsh and the nurses we work with in hospitals throughout Australia, especially Professor Joan Webster from the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.”

Sigma Theta Tau International, the Honor Society of Nursing, operates the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame as part of its work supporting the learning, knowledge and professional development of nurses committed to making a difference world-wide.
