Health worker resignations surge by almost 20%, fresh data shows

Victoria’s health workers have been resigning at the rate of more than 200 a week, potentially undermining state government efforts to recruit the tens of thousands of doctors, nurses and midwives needed to relieve stress on the overburdened system and staff new hospitals.shows a record 10,685 healthcare workers resigned from Victoria’s public health system in 2020-21 – 19 per cent more than the 9007 who quit the year before.

That means staff turnover from resignations represented the equivalent of about 8 per cent of the total workforce in 2020-21, up from about 7.3 per cent the previous year. Victorian Healthcare Association deputy chief executive Juan Paolo Legaspi said the wave of resignations had occurred at the worst possible moment for public health services.“We fear it may have continued in 2022,” he said. “We just don’t have the data yet to see that.“We are in the middle of a global shortage of healthcare workers affecting every state and territory in Australia. There has never been more competition for qualified health professionals.

Tens of thousands? What an exaggeration, there probably aren't that many doctors in the whole of Australia.

Drop the pointless vaccine mandate then.

No the media putting a strained health system under more pressure by giving a platform to every halfwit and attention seeker opposed to the government's public health policies during a pandemic undermines efforts to recruit. The resignations are a consequence of that.

Get rid of ALL VACCINE MANDATES!!!

A corrupt system can only go on for so long. Health workers have been treated like rubbish for years. Add multiple shots of covid just to put food on your table doesn’t help.

Get rid of Andrews PutLaborLast

It’s a huge problem the world over! Why just Victoria reported? The medical profession are exhausted everywhere CovidIsNotOver

Drop the vax mandates. Might get a few coming back you sacked this time last year, just in time for Christmas.

Victoria is missing a golden opportunity to rethink the health systemExperts say there are two glaring omissions among the billion-dollar election promises - a failure of much-needed reform and lack of crucial investment in preventive health. Lol! The entire pandemic response was anti preventative. You all scoffed, ridiculed any suggestion at preventative measures from Vit D supplements (shown to recuse deaths by 33%), early treatments, to weight loss. Now we will pay a price for it that far outweighs that of Covid. We need to reduce the number of people going to hospital in the first place and to ensure Victorians can live healthily and happily in the community Check out PhaaVic's platform for PublicHealth investment for Vic: VoteForPublicHealth
