Nursing
Health Trends in Australia
• Nurses and midwives form the largest health
profession in Australia (ANF 2010b), providing

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health services
• hospitals
• the armed forces
• universities
• mental health facilities
• There are two levels of nurse that are legally
regulated within Australia:

• enrolled nurses.
• The education of registered nurses/midwives
occurs in the higher education sector.

Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector.
• The minimum level of qualification for entry to
practice for enrolled nurses is contained in the
health training package and is now with

• Investing in young people is essential to
prepare Australia and its people for the
challenges of the future.
• Providing youth with the support they need to
succeed is part of governing in the long-term
national interest.
• As the population ages, Australia faces new
challenges in health, aged care, postretirement income support and social security.
• Young people play a significant role as the
nation confronts these and other challenges.
• The health workforce is ageing, with 16% aged
55 years and older in 2006, a rise from 9.2% in
1996.
• The average age of people employed in health
occupations in 2006 was 42 years,
• 3 years older than other people in the
workforce.
• In accordance with the Youth Strategy we
actively provide support in key areas,
including:
• Language Literacy and Numeracy
• Embedded Career Education
• Youth-Friendly Learning Experiences
• Community Engagement and Partnerships.
• We focus not only on students (who will
each undertake a personal learning plan),
but also on teachers and program managers
(who receive support to improve student
completion rates and attainment)

options for Early School Leavers and
alternatives for those thinking about leaving
school.
• Through our various Youth Programs we help
them to grow their skills and interests.
