Despite a plethora of research into Aboriginal employment and recruitment, the extent and nature of the retention of frontline Aboriginal people in health, ageing, and disability workforces are currently unknown. In this application, frontline service delivery is defined as Aboriginal people who are paid employees in the health, ageing, and disability service sectors in roles that involve direct client, participant, or patient contact. There is a need to identify the factors that inhibit (push) and promote (pull) staff retention or departure of this workforce from the sectors. This study will provide additional insight about this topic.
The objective of this project is to uncover the factors that influence the retention of frontline Aboriginal workers in the health, ageing, and disability workforces in New South Wales (NSW) who do not have university qualifications. The aim of the proposed project aims to discover the push and pull factors for the retention of the frontline Aboriginal workforce in the health, ageing, and disability sectors in NSW in relation to their role, employment, and community and design evidence-based strategies for retaining the Aboriginal frontline workforce in the health, ageing, and disability sectors in NSW.
The proposed research will use a mixed methods approach, collecting both quantitative and qualitative data via surveys and interviews to capture and represent the voices and perspectives of Aboriginal people in a way that the participants chose.
Indigenous research methodologies are a growing field in Aboriginal health research in Australia. A key strength of this study is that it is led by Aboriginal scholars and Aboriginal controlled organizations that apply an Indigenous methodological framework throughout the research process.
This study uses a mixed methods design. The survey and interview questions and model were developed in partnership with Aboriginal health, ageing, and disability service workers rather than relying only on research publications on the workforce, government policies, and human resources strategies. This design places a strong emphasis on generalizable findings together with an inductive approach that explores employers and workers' lived experience of the Aboriginal health workforce in NSW. Excluding workers who have graduated from university places a strong focus on the workforce who have obtained either school or Technical and Further Education or registered training organizations qualifications. Data collection was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, and results will include the unique experiences of Aboriginal workers and employers delivering services in an extremely challenging organizational, community, and personal context.

尽管对原住民就业和招聘进行了大量研究，但目前尚不清楚一线原住民在卫生、老年护理和残疾服务劳动力队伍中的留用程度和性质。在本应用中，一线服务提供被定义为在卫生、老年护理和残疾服务部门担任带薪雇员且涉及直接与客户、参与者或患者接触的原住民。有必要确定抑制（推动）和促进（拉动）该劳动力队伍留用或离职的因素。本研究将提供有关该主题的更多见解。
本项目的目的是揭示影响新南威尔士州（NSW）卫生、老年护理和残疾服务劳动力队伍中没有大学学历的一线原住民工人留用的因素。拟议项目的目标是发现新南威尔士州卫生、老年护理和残疾部门一线原住民劳动力队伍留用的推动和拉动因素，涉及他们的角色、就业以及社区，并设计基于证据的策略以留住新南威尔士州卫生、老年护理和残疾部门的原住民一线劳动力队伍。
拟议的研究将采用混合方法，通过调查和访谈收集定量和定性数据，以参与者选择的方式捕捉和呈现原住民的声音和观点。
本土研究方法在澳大利亚原住民健康研究中是一个不断发展的领域。本研究的一个关键优势在于，它由原住民学者和原住民控制的组织牵头，在整个研究过程中应用本土方法框架。
本研究采用混合方法设计。调查和访谈问题及模型是与原住民卫生、老年护理和残疾服务工作者合作开发的，而不是仅依赖关于劳动力队伍的研究出版物、政府政策和人力资源策略。这种设计非常强调可推广的研究结果以及一种归纳方法，该方法探索新南威尔士州原住民卫生劳动力队伍中雇主和工人的生活经历。排除大学毕业生，重点关注获得学校或技术与继续教育或注册培训机构资格的劳动力队伍。数据收集在新冠疫情期间进行，结果将包括原住民工人和雇主在极具挑战性的组织、社区和个人背景下提供服务的独特经历。
