Research Report Launched - ‘To do this job you have to have to have the heart for it’.

Uniting Country SA is proud to release the research report

‘To do this job you have to have to have the heart for it’.

The report examines factors which would optimise current practice to support the best outcomes for country people living with multiple and complex needs?

A prominent aspect of the findings was the importance of relationships. When strong relationships existed, they outweighed the importance of education levels. However, staff training and support were identified as crucial elements for staff satisfaction, staff retention and ultimately, client outcomes.

This body of work represents an ongoing commitment by UCSA to deliver evidence-based care in line with our vision of just communities where all people flourish.

Fantastic work by Flinders University and Centre for Social Impact
