1.0 INTRODUCTION Australian economy is growing significantly in the global market. Development ineducation, medical, hospitality, tourism etc has helped the country in creating wide impact onoverall economic development (Nahar, Islam & Ullah, 2017). The old age care industry provideswide range of services to older Australians through proper level of care when and where theyrequire (Esplen & et.al., 2018). It provides both comfort of support as well as dignity toAustralian senior citizens.This service segment is demands a team of skilled and trained nurses to efficientlyunderstand the needs of the patients and deliver required treatment to them (Han, Han & Choi,2015). These care homes manage, train and develop workforce to manage diverse roles frommanagement to administration and care workers to nurses (Holmberg, Sobis & Carlström, 2016).The topic of this project is to analyze the impact the high turn-over rates among the nurses onaged care facility. To have a better understanding of the topic an old Aged organization namely,Leading Aged Services Australia (LASA) is taken into consideration. The report will focus onanalyzing the factors which leads to high turnover within nurses and its impact on age carefacility due to high turn over of nurses. The research will start from the problem Statement andwill lead to identifying aims and objectives. Further, Justification and potential output of theresearch will be taken and conceptual framework and hypothesis of the research will be done(ABOUT LASA.,2018). At last, research methodology will be applied for better understanding ofthe topic.2.0 PROBLEM STATEMENTTurnover of the regulated nursing staff has been the major issue in old age careorganization. Nurses in the old aged care plays a vital role in this sector. They are directlyassociated with the quality of care. However, care homes can not work appropriately until andunless they have a quality workforce particularly nurses whose main work is to look after the oldpeople so that they can get a happy life (Holmberg, Sobis & Carlström, 2016). In currentsituation, where Australian economy is facing a transition, turnover rates can also be a majorissue. However, it is not an easy way to train the new employees to work in an organization
every now and then. Turnover in healthcare services reduces the productivity and quality of theservices. LASA age care has also been facing the similar problem of nursing staff turnover.Therefore, this project aims at finding the impact of turnover in the life old aged people. For this,focus on one of the wide Old age home of Melbourne, Australia is being done so that the effectscan be analyzed and problem can be identified (Don’t just blame older Australians for increasedhospitaldemand.,2016). 3.0 AIM AND OBJECTIVE/ RESEARCH QUESTIONSThe main aim of the research is to investigate the impact of high turn-over rates of thenurses on aged care facility.
