Where essential workers were and are

Six universities will track nurses and other health professionals over ten years to identify grad outcomes

Part of the purpose is to identify where they work and changes needed to address shortages in regional communities.

Monash U and Uni Newcastle started the project in 2017 and are now joined by Deakin U, Uni Queensland, Uni South Australia and Uni Southern Queensland.

The project will use practice-location from the Commonwealth regulator, university records, and data from the excellent QILT surveys.
