QNU Submission to the Economic Development Committee Legislative Assembly of Queensland
Published: 27 August 2009
The Queensland Nurses’ Union (QNU) welcomes the opportunity to provide a submission to the inquiry into employment creation opportunities in Queensland. Our submission generally addresses the guidance questions 18 and 19 of the Economic Development Committee Issues Paper No. 1 (the Issues Paper) and puts forward some broad comments that the QNU considers relevant to the inquiry.
In this report, we initially provide information on the QNU followed by some recent data on the Qld nursing workforce. We then address the guidance questions as the basis for our comments and recommendations. We recognise that although the Issues Paper identifies 23 issues for comment, we have addressed those that have particular relevance for nursing and the nursing workforce.
