New South Wales is on the cusp of a nursing crisis, with south-west Sydney set to face a “catastrophic” shortage of staff, according to official data. Alarming figures predict that the state’s pool of about 70,000 full-time staff will soon be unable to meet patient demand. And over the next decade, the shortfall will only intensify. By 2030, the modelling suggests while 82,000 full-time registered nurses and midwives will be needed, only 74,000 will be available — a gap of 8,000 workers. For hospitals and aged-care centres who rely on enrolled nurses — the less-qualified workers who provide vital one-on-one care — the situation looks particularly dire, according to documents released through a long-running Freedom of Information (FOI) application. This year alone, NSW will need to find 2,000 full-time enrolled nurses to meet demand, and on current trends, the shortage will continue to grow. The current workforce of 9,000 full-time staff will plummet to 7,500 by 2030, while at the same time demand will sky-rocket to about 13,000. Stewart James, an executive manager with Hammond Care, is not surprised by the data and says his hospitals and aged-care networks across Sydney will soon face a real struggle to hire and retain new staff. “Because of the issue with the aging workforce and the aging demographic, there will be a point where nursing is at a critical shortage. “And it will be important for organisations like Hammond Care and others to get younger nurses and train and develop and retain them. That’s our future.”

Elderly residents are being repeatedly targeted by thieves at a pensioner’s housing complex in Coconut Grove. Every tenant spoken to with this week has been robbed within the past year — ranging from a pack of smokes nicked to priceless family heirlooms or hundreds of dollars of cash taken in confrontational break-ins. In the latest incident on Sunday a group of teenage girls reportedly robbed an elderly woman. One old lady had her purse taken and they tried to steal her dog as well but they couldn’t carry it.”
