Australian aged care company offering incentives to NZ workers

An Australian aged care company is trying to coax kiwi workers to the Sunshine State with a golden package of incentives including free accomodation, sign on bonus', relocation fees and free flights home. Mercy Community has about 130 vacancies at its brand new agedcare facility, Mercy Haven in Rockhampton Queensland, including registered nurses, support staff and personal care assisants. As well as the salary package, it's offering sunshine for free. The international competition comes as the aged sector in Aotearoa is struggling to fill vacancies and compete with pay in other local nursing sectors too. Mercy Community CEO, Justin Lorenz spoke to Lisa Owen.
