A national profile of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers, 2006-2016.

CONCLUSION: There are pressing concerns regarding the lack of growth and the ageing workforce of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers. We remain concerned that little is being done to increase the retention and recruitment of this workforce. Implications for public health: Greater effort is needed to improve the recruitment and retention of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers, particularly for younger age groups and males. A National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workforce Strategy needs to be implemented. PMID: 30690842 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
