Recruitment videos developed to assist health care practices to recruit and retain staff

The PHN has developed a suite of recruitment videos to assist all health care businesses with recruitment.

The new recruitment resources provide a ‘how to guide’ on attracting potential candidates including writing job advertisements, where to advertise and how to retain current staff.

The three short videos are aimed at all health care businesses including General Practice and Allied Health, with all types of roles from administration staff to senior clinicians.

The PHN Chief Executive Officer, Richard Nankervis, said workforce availability and sustainability are emerging challenges across the region. “In consultation with current services providers, it is evident the lack of available, qualified staff is a major barrier to providing adequate services to meet demand.”

“To help mitigate this in the short to medium term, the PHN are implementing a number of methods of workforce attraction and retention that have been successfully trialed in other areas of the healthcare sector. These recruitment videos will support practices alongside our grant and professional development programs.”
