Why Settling and Connecting Matters - Building a stronger workforce on Tasmania's East Coast

Are workforce recruitment and retention challenges impacting team morale or the capacity of your business to deliver services, grow and expand?

The evidence is clear: whether a newcomer worker stays isn’t decided by the job — it’s decided by whether they and their family feel connected to the place.

Dr Cath Cosgrave shows why settling and connecting is what retains professionals and other skilled workers from out of region, and introduces the Community Connector Program as the way communities make it happen.

Come with questions; leave knowing whether this is something you want to help build for your region in Tasmania.

This program is supported by the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) Rural and Remote Community Support Grant, funded by the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing.
