Scholars and stakeholders alike have proposed the recruiting of migrant personal care workers as part of a strategy to respond to a prospective aged care deficit in Australia's ageing population. In recent years, there has been an increase in care migration to fulfil shortages among Australia's culturally and linguistically diverse and more remotely based populations. However, it is a difficult and resource‐intensive process to recruit migrant personal care workers under the labour agreement stream of the Temporary Skills Shortage visa. This article addresses the lacuna in existing literature dealing with the question of how Australia's migration framework ought to be structured to recruit migrant personal care workers as part of a strategy to prevent, or respond to, an aged care crisis. The article argues that the formation of an aged care industry labour agreement based on geographical and niche subsector labour market need is necessary to ensure the accessibility of the programme to aged care organisations. However, it is also argued that the introduction of a new low‐skill visa would better facilitate the recruitment of migrant personal care workers.

针对澳大利亚老年人口的可行的护理移民计划：为澳大利亚老年人护理招募移民个人护理人员

学者和利益相关者都建议招募移民个人护理人员，作为应对澳大利亚人口老龄化中预期的老年人护理短缺战略的一部分。近年来，为解决澳大利亚文化和语言多样且偏远地区人口的短缺，护理移民有所增加。但是，根据临时技能短缺签证的劳动协议，招募移民个人护理人员是一个困难且资源密集的过程。本文解决了现有文献中的空白，涉及如何构造澳大利亚的移民框架以招募移民个人护理人员，作为预防或应对老年护理危机战略的一部分。文章认为，有必要根据地理和细分细分行业劳动力市场的需要，建立老年护理行业的劳动协议，以确保该计划可用于老年护理组织。但是，也有人认为，引入新的低技能签证将更好地促进农民工个人护理人员的招聘。
