This symposium will present research conducted over the past three years focusing on the shared problem of recruiting and retaining high quality professional staff for rural and remote Australia, particularly for communities with high Indigenous populations.
An Australian Research Council Linkage Grant project, with partners the Western Australia and Queensland Governments, the project was established to enable the development of breakthrough technologies and best practice models as well as deeper appreciators of the current complex community practice environments in support of future attraction and retention strategies.
The project has broadly focused on two key areas – the relationship between recruitment and retention and place and the complexities associated with cultural competency and practice.
The program is developed to enable focused discussion on the issues as they relate to the Northern Territory.
