In Australia, a shortage of over 109,000 nurses by the year 2025 is anticipated (Health Workforce Australia, 2012). Other health professions are similarly experiencing shortages. According to the World Health Organization there is a global shortage of all types of health workers (World Health Organization, 2015). Nursing and Midwifery are challenged in recruiting young people into the profession and strategies to ensure a sufficient health workforce supply in the future are essential to meet projected workforce demands (Health Workforce Australia, 2012).
