Nurturing nursing talent: Greenslopes private hospital and TAFE Queensland’s successful partnership
Over 15 years ago, Greenslopes Private Hospital in Brisbane articulated two key problems – a shortage of enrolled nurses, and the time spent teaching new graduates the ‘Greenslopes way.’

From classroom to caregiving: Capecare and South Regional TAFE boost aged care workforce in regional community
Beautiful Busselton, 230 km south of Perth, attracts many retirees seeking a relaxed coastal lifestyle. But that ageing demographic and regional location helps contribute to labour shortages.

They partnered with South Regional TAFE to deliver an ‘intensive-start’ traineeship.
From 2020 to 2022, 24 trainees aged 19-59 years completed a Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing), with all gaining employment as carers upon completion.
