Primary healthcare workers are the healthcare professionals at the forefront of the community in non-hospital settings &#8211; those that people turn to first for health advice and counsel, such as GPs, nurses, and allied health professionals, which includes roles such as pharmacists, physiotherapists, psychologist, occupational therapists, podiatrists and many more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Australia is facing a health workforce shortage. Local doctors are ageing, with many on the verge of retirement. In 2021, 15.6% of GPs were aged 65 or over. Also, the Nurse Supply and Demand Study 2024 estimates a shortfall of more than 21,000 nurses by 2035.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Recognising the shortage and widespread misconceptions about careers in primary health care, practitioners in the industry are coming together to end these misunderstandings and encourage more workers in the sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The common misconception that those working in primary health care require less skills or knowledge is addressed by <strong>Chinese GP Dr Dong Hua. <\/strong>Dr Hua says that primary health care professionals are equally skilled, inspiring, and trusted, delivering exceptional medical care and guidance: \u201cPeople tend to think that GP\u2019s just do scripts and referrals, but it&#8217;s much broader than that. We are managing complex conditions utilising skills from all kinds of specialties\u2026 I want to address the patient&#8217;s whole health and not [just] a piece of it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-150716 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Lester-Mascarenhas-e1742261684663.jpg\" alt=\"The career path that healthcare professionals are overlooking.\" width=\"600\" height=\"750\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Although primary health care roles offer several pathways for career growth, many students believe roles are limited, and so, neglect to pursue them.\u00a0 In reality, there are diverse and dynamic options \u2013 from specialisations to management roles. <strong>Nepali aged care nurse, Shrijana Gautam,<\/strong> dedicated ten years in the sector and moved from being a registered nurse to a clinical care manager. She is now a general manager with over 180 staff. \u201cWorking in the primary health sector\u2026 has given me so many opportunities to grow my career,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Primary health care professionals also have the flexibility to work from major cities or rural and remote areas, while building long lasting relationships with their communities.\u00a0 Dr Hua chose to set up a clinic in the neighbourhood where he grew up. \u201cI&#8217;m really proud of what we have achieved here. I have treated their parents, their kids, and their kid\u2019s kids,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Some may mistakenly view primary health care as less rewarding than other healthcare professions, as it often focuses on non-urgent conditions. In truth, primary health\u00a0 care professionals play a vital role in the local community, building long-term relationships with patients and making a profound impact on their overall well-being. <strong>India-born GP, Dr Lester Mascarenhas, <\/strong>has been serving the refugee community for many years which he finds exceptionally rewarding: \u201cFor me personally, it&#8217;s building trust with the patients and seeing them improve and get better with time,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">A career in primary health care often offers people a clear sense of purpose. <strong>Vietnamese-born Physiotherapist, Dr Ken Nguyen,<\/strong> shifted from law to actuarial science, and finally found the right fit in primary health care: \u201cYou deal with work accidents, elderly patients, children with abnormal development, and witness their progress all the way back to full function. It&#8217;s quite rewarding to see that kind of progress.&#8221; he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">For many, being part of a growing cohort of multicultural primary health care professionals gives a sense of belonging and allows them to push for better health outcomes within their communities. When<strong> Turkiye-born clinical psychologist\/neuropsychologist Firdevs Tat <\/strong>first \u201cstarted practising [psychology], there were two registered Turkish-speaking psychologists.\u201d\u00a0 According to the most recent Census data, there are approximately 100 Turkish-speaking psychologists across Australia, who work to support the wider community and de-stigmatise mental health care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Iraq-born optometrist, Mohammed Alebrahimi, <\/strong>shares the same sentiment<strong>: <\/strong>\u201cIt&#8217;s an amazing job. I recommend it to anyone who wants to help people [by] working alongside clinicians from different disciplines to provide service to the community,\u201d he says. Alebrahimi offers services nationally and has been advocating for the primary health care sector as a hidden gem to make an impact \u201cone person and one case at a time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">To learn more about a career in primary health care, visit<span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\"> <a style=\"color: #800080; font-size: 18px;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.health.gov.au\/primaryhealthcarecareers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.health.gov.au\/primaryhealthcarecareers<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;\"><a style=\"color: #003366;\" href=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/elanka-newsletter-sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Click here to receive your free copy of the eLanka Newsletter twice a week delivered directly\u00a0to\u00a0your\u00a0inbox!<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The career path that healthcare professionals are overlooking.
