The Stark Reality of the Care Deficit

The data is unequivocal. The aged care crisis is a mathematical certainty, not a future problem. Relying on traditional recruitment is now the highest-risk decision an aged care leader can make.

Metric
The Unmistakable Reality
Annual Worker Shortfall
35,000 Direct Care Workers Needed This Year Alone
Annual Staff Attrition
~65,000 Workers Leaving the Sector Every Year
Provider Financials
Sector Average Net Loss of $25.31 Per Resident, Per Day
Migration Access Failure
64% of Providers Unable to Access Workers via Current Schemes

Beyond the Roster: The Crippling Impact of the Crisis

The workforce shortage isn't just an HR problem; it's a corrosive agent eating away at your operational capacity, financial stability, and hard-won reputation.

Operational Paralysis

Inability to meet mandated care minutes and 24/7 RN requirements puts you at direct risk of sanctions. Providers are forced to close wings and limit admissions, sacrificing revenue.

Financial Erosion Cycle

Constant staff churn incurs immense recurring costs. A costly dependency on temporary agency staff inflates expenses, squeezing already thin margins and draining resources from quality care.

Compromised Care

Chronic understaffing leads to burnout and unmanageable workloads. This directly impacts care quality, increases adverse events, and exposes your organisation to significant legal and reputational risk.

Is your organisation trapped in this cycle? Let's build your exit strategy.

Specialist Navigators of Complex Immigration Pathways

Generalist migration agents often fail in the aged care sector because they lack the deep, specialised knowledge required. Our in-house immigration team are masters of the specific visas and labour agreements that unlock global talent for your facilities.

Aged Care Industry Labour Agreements

We are experts in negotiating and managing these complex agreements, the primary mechanism for sponsoring Personal Care Workers (PCWs). We handle the intricate requirements, ensuring you can access this critical workforce segment where others fail.

482, 407, 491 & 186 Visas for RNs, ENs, PCWs

We provide a seamless pathway for sponsoring Registered Nurses (RNs), Enrolled Nurses (ENs) and Personal Care Workers (PCWs) on both temporary (SID 482, Regional 491, Training 407) and permanent (ENS 186) visas, aligned with your long-term workforce planning and retention goals.

AHPRA Registration Mastery

Our specialisation includes navigating the labyrinthine Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) process for overseas-qualified nurses, ensuring candidates will be able to obtain their AHPRA qualification and will be ready to work without delay.

Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) Scheme

This scheme is a vital pathway for sourcing dedicated Personal Care Workers from Pacific nations like Fiji. GRIA manages the entire process, from gaining 'Approved Employer' status to supporting you to fulfill all PALM scheme requirements, providing a culturally aligned solution to your PCW shortages.

We Don't Just Fill Roles. We Build Your Future.

Retention-Aligned Fees

Our innovative fee structure is spread across the visa lifecycle. We only realise our full fee if the candidate stays long-term. Our financial success is directly tied to your retention rates.

6-Month Replacement Guarantee

Our contractual commitment to quality. If a candidate leaves for any reason within six months, we find a replacement at no additional professional cost, removing the financial risk from your hiring decision.

Deep Sector Specialisation

We are not generalists. We have a granular understanding of aged care roles, AHPRA registration, and proven strategies for challenging regional placements.

Unrivalled Immigration Mastery

Our 99% visa success rate over 15 years protects your investment of time and money, delivering predictable, compliant, and timely outcomes across all relevant visa subclasses.
