As New South Wales (NSW) faces a growing demand for aged care services, the challenge of finding skilled and reliable staff is becoming more pressing. To meet this need, Altara is excited to announce the expansion of our staffing services into NSW, offering aged care facilities across the state access to our expert recruitment solutions.

The Growing Need for Quality Aged Care Staffing in NSW

NSW is home to the largest population of older Australians, with over 1.5 million people aged 65 and over. As this number increases, so does the demand for aged care services. Facilities are under pressure to meet higher care standards while facing staff shortages, particularly in critical roles such as nurses, personal care assistants (PCAs), and hospitality staff.

Adding to this challenge is the Aged Care Royal Commission, which has introduced stricter regulations, pushing facilities to offer more comprehensive and personalised care. Residents and their families expect aged care providers not only to meet medical needs but also to provide a comfortable living environment, nutritious meals, and compassionate personal care.

How Altara is Supporting Aged Care Providers in NSW

Altara’s expansion into NSW brings a flexible and tailored approach to staffing, designed specifically to address the unique challenges of the state’s aged care sector. Here’s how we can help:

1. Flexible Staffing Solutions
   Aged care facilities often experience fluctuating staffing needs, whether due to seasonal changes, staff leave, or an influx of new residents. Altara offers temporary, casual, and permanent staffing solutions that can be adapted to your facility’s specific needs. Our 24/7 Operations Centre ensures that you can access qualified staff at any time, even at short notice.
2. Expert Care Staff
   At the heart of every aged care facility are the Registered nurses, Enrolled nurses and PCAs, and who provide direct care to residents. Altara specialises in recruiting highly trained, compassionate care professionals who are dedicated to improving resident outcomes. We ensure that every staff member we place is fully qualified and aligns with your facility’s values.
3. Hospitality Staffing
   Quality aged care is not just about clinical care—it’s also about creating a comfortable, hygienic, and welcoming environment. Altara provides skilled hospitality staff, including chefs, kitchen hands, and cleaners, to support your facility’s operations. Our hospitality staff are trained to meet the unique needs of aged care residents, ensuring they receive nutritious meals and live in a clean, comfortable setting.
4. Regulatory Compliance
   With the aged care sector becoming more regulated, it’s critical that facilities comply with new standards. Altara’s staff are trained to meet the latest regulatory requirements, helping your facility remain compliant while providing high-quality care.
