It’s no secret that Australia’s childcare sector is suffering critical skills & workforce shortages, with childcare enrolment rates increasing by 12% over the past five years and noting there’s also a growing demand for specialised educators. Tapping into Australia’s migration programme presents a vital, underutilised solution to access skilled workers. When communicating with your childcare provider, they may be interested in reading our recent article, which explores some of the practical migration strategies to address these talent gaps. At Mullins Migration, we work with childcare providers to design tailored migration strategies to assist with addressing growing workforce demands to build teams equipped for the future – this not only ensures sustainable service delivery, but also safeguards the mental health and wellbeing of both children and staff.
