Abstract
It is well known that the Australian population is ageing (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2013). This ageing population has led to an increase in chronic and complex diseases, leading to a range of challenges for healthcare providers (Hunter & Levett-Jones, 2010), yet 75% of residential aged care facilities report skills shortages.
