What is the state of play? A nursing and midwifery workplace satisfaction survey across five local health districts
Overall, our findings indicate noticeable differences in workforce satisfaction and retention across various factors, including workforce areas, Aboriginality, age, and professional roles. For these groups, initiatives aimed at improving satisfaction and retention should prioritise fostering teamwork and a sense of belonging, as these elements have significant impact on job satisfaction for nurses and midwives and provide valuable guidance for nursing leaders.
