Who Cares? Volume 1: A Profile of Care Workers in Australia's Community Services Industries

Gabrielle Meagher, Karen Healy

Abstract

In nursing homes, child care centres, migrant welfare services, group homes for people with disabilities, and elsewhere around Australia, workers are employed to help other people meet their daily needs. These employees perform paid 'care work' in Australia's community service industries. This publication presents a profile of these care workers, using data from the Census of Population and Housing 1996 and 2001.
