21 Mar 2025
NSW workforce crisis
The resignation of 206 of the staff-employed 270 psychiatrists in NSW is a devastating consequence of the neglect of the public psychiatric system.
This open access editorial published in Australasian Psychiatry discusses the strategy to hire locum psychiatrists and VMOs to fill the gaps, and what this might mean for the future of public psychiatric care in Australia.
Read the journal article by Jeffrey CL Looi, Sharon Reutens, Natasha Robinson, Steve Kisely, Tarun Bastiampillai and Stephen Allison.
