Queensland’s Residential Care Workforce – Insights & Opportunities

Queensland’s residential care system provides a crucial safety net – when its needed most – for children and young people experiencing vulnerability. Our workforce is characterised by people driven to make a difference. As a sector, however, we continue to face challenges in the delivery of quality care, as demand rises and the needs of children and young people become increasingly complex.

In 2023, PeakCare invited government to partner with the sector to address these concerns. As part of development of a workforce strategy to meet the current and future needs of Queensland’s residential care sector, the Catalyst for Care program released this Insights & Opportunities Report, building on work already undertaken to identify opportunities and challenges within the system.
