Sound advice: tracking the growing demand for Audiologists and Speech Pathologists/Therapists
Australia’s health care sector, one of the fastest-growing areas of the economy, is evolving in response to demographic shifts, rising rates of chronic conditions and increasing complexity in service delivery and quality expectations. Audiologists and Speech Pathologists/Therapists have benefited from favourable labour market conditions driven by these changes.
Despite growing employment and demand, persistent issues around workforce shortages and limited service availability in some areas remain. While rising qualification attainment and skilled migration might help to meet demand, it is still uncertain whether these efforts will be sufficient to close critical service gaps.
