Residential aged care

An Australian Government initiative, the Bringing Nurses Back into the Workforce (BNBW) program provides funding for eligible residential aged care homes to support registered and enrolled nurses to return to employment in aged care homes. The funding available will assist aged care homes with the re-training and re-skilling of nurses who return to work.

The program will provide:

• cash bonuses of up to $6000 for eligible nurses who return to work in an aged care home that is participating in the BNBW program
• cash bonuses of $1000 for participating residential aged care homes that employ an eligible nurse.

• reducing the nursing shortages in residential aged care
• attracting 1,000 of the estimated 30,000 qualified nurses who are outside the Australian nursing workforce back into aged care homes and community packaged aged care services and
• providing support for enrolled nurses returning under the program to up-skill to the Diploma of Nursing.
