Tender success secures vital funding to deliver Home Care Workforce Support Program

KLR Communications wishes to congratulate our client Settlement Services International (SSI) in its successful bid to deliver the Home Care Workforce Support Program in NSW and ACT.

SSI is one of six organisations chosen and will share in more than $91 million of funding which has been allocated to organisations in each state and territory.

The Home Care Workforce Program aims to grow the nation’s home care workforce by 13,000 over the next two years.

SSI will help to develop and enhance aged care by:

• promoting training and support opportunities for new recruits and others who wish to upskill
• supporting new recruits to navigate and access training opportunities
• providing virtual mentoring and career guidance support to students undertaking training
• linking trained personal carers to job vacancies in the home and community care sector
• providing advice and training to the aged care industry on recruitment strategies and how to maintain a diverse workforce

“This was an exciting tender project to work on with the team at SSI and this win enables this great organisation to expand its services into a new and critically important area. Increasing the home care workforce will allow more people to access personal supports and to remain living independently at home for longer“, said Kathryn Garth, Managing Director, KLR Communications.
