Gold Coast, Australia – A growing number of Australian nurses and healthcare professionals are making the switch to training and assessment careers, citing burnout and emotional fatigue as primary motivators for the move. Plenty Training, a nationally recognised provider of 'train the trainer' vocational education, reports that healthcare and social assistance workers now make up the largest portion of its enrolments.
According to the Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association (APNA) 2023 Workforce Survey, almost 75% of nurses reported feeling stressed or burnt out at work, and one in four are considering leaving their roles within the next two to five years.
Many healthcare workers are seeking new ways to stay connected to their industry without the physical and emotional toll of frontline work.
“It’s clear that nurses and healthcare professionals enter the field with a genuine desire to make a difference,” said Levi Luke, representative of Plenty Training. “But over time, the stress and emotional toll of frontline work can wear even the most passionate professionals down.
“A training role offers the best of both worlds—it allows them to step back from the pressure while continuing to make a real impact by shaping the next generation of care providers,” he said.
Plenty Training offers nationally recognised qualifications such as the TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, tailored for professionals looking to pivot into meaningful education roles within their own field of expertise.
