Description

Many regional towns across Australia struggle to attract essential workers - like doctors, teachers and aged-care staff – often due to lack of affordable housing and other factors. While similar equivalents exist in other states and territories, an initiative across regional areas in New South Wales is hoping to change this by offering essential workers support to find housing, schools and community groups to make them feel welcome and connected.
