AWARE Allied Health
Australian Workforce Assessment Recruitment and Retention Exercise
The People Project has developed the AWARE Tool with the assistance of the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care, who have provided funding through Primary Health Tasmania. Brentnalls Health have been involved in the design and pilot progam of the tool, whilst the Rural Doctors Association of Tasmania (RDAT) also support the initiative.
The Australian Workforce Assessment Recruitment and Retention Exercise (AWARE) Tool has been developed to support Tasmanian allied health practices to improve the recruitment and retention of health professionals in allied health settings in Tasmania. Designed specifically for regional, rural and remote allied health practice, the AWARE Tool seeks to identify opportunities for allied health practices to improve their ability to recruit and retain Allied Health Professionals.
Using The AWARE Tool
The AWARE Tool is completed online by practice managers, directors, allied health professionals, and support staff. Most participants complete a short survey (approximately 20 minutes), while one nominated manager or director also completes a practice data section.
Once all responses are submitted, the practice can request a confidential report outlining strengths and practical recommendations for improvement.
For more infromation on how to use this tool, please read our AWARE Allied Health Information Sheet.
How to Request your Reports
Once the Practice AWARE Tool Coordinator is satisfied that all required responses have been received they need to request the practice’s report.
Privacy and Confidentiality
Participation in the AWARE Tool is voluntary and anonymous for all practice staff. All the data, including statistic and financial data submitted by practice managers/owners and the individual surveys will be deleted once the AWARE reports have been completed and delivered to the practice
