Implement our proven, evidence-based Framework
This program is based on 10 years of Dr. Cosgrave’s research investigating what’s required to strengthen rural health and social care workforces and her peer-reviewed Attract Connect Stay Framework.
Working with rural healthcare and social care organisations, Dr Cosgrave has identified the five pillars necessary to successfully implement the Framework:
1. Attract, 2. Recruit, 3. Settle & Connect (Organisation), 4. Settle & Connect (Community), 5. Stay
By joining this program, you’ll develop a practical understanding of these five pillars and learn the skills needed to craft tailored strategies to implement the Framework for your unique organisation and rural community.
We're here to help you ...
Craft Targeted Recruitment Campaigns
Develop compelling campaigns to attract the perfect candidates for your roles.
Refine Your Selection Process

Revolutionising Recruitment with Attract Connect Stay
At Western District Health Service, the Attract Connect Stay Framework has been revolutionary in the way that we do our recruitment. Not only have we gone back and revised all of our recruitment processes, step-by-step, starting from our ideal candidate profiles through to revising our position descriptions, which then feeds into our advertising. Everything that we do has changed for the better. We couldn’t have done it without the help of the Attract Connect Stay team guiding us along the way.

Attract Connect Stay Launchpad Program
The Only Workforce Strengthening Program For Rural Health and Social Care Businesses
This program is designed to tackle the challenge of shortages in health professionals and to foster strong, sustainable health and social care workforces in rural communities.
This program will empower you with the confidence to effectively attract and retain health professionals for your rural business
Wondering if This Program is for You?
Ask Yourself the Following Questions…
Am I struggling to find the right-fit candidates for my business or my team?
It’s frustrating when you put out ads, but the results aren’t what you hoped for. You sense there’s something missing – something that’s not quite clicking – when it comes to attracting health professionals to join your organisation.
Are my staff burning out due to constant employee shortages?
We understand how tough it is when your team is stretched thin. Your staff’s well-being matters, and you worry that the exhaustion might push them to leave. Extra shifts and running services with too few hands can lead to burnout and dissatisfaction.
Am I losing hope of ever being fully staffed?
We get it… It’s disheartening when it feels like you’re stuck in a cycle of unrewarding recruitment with no end in sight. The thought of always scrambling to fill positions, without the chance to enhance your services, can be discouraging.
Is Staff Turnover Impacting Your Team's Morale and Efficiency?
High turnover can create a ripple effect, impacting team morale and operational efficiency. If you’re noticing a pattern of valuable employees leaving, it’s time to ask why. Is it the work environment, lack of growth opportunities, or something else? Is it something you can address or not ? Understanding the root causes of turnover is crucial for creating a more stable and satisfied workforce.
Our workforce strengthening program for rural health and social care businesses is the answer you’ve been looking for and need!

Imagine Getting Results Like These From The Program...
I would highly recommend this program to other organisations
Thanks to Cath I now have a clearer understanding of methods to utilise in order to attract and recruit new staff. I would highly recommend this program to other organisations as I believe it could truly transform their recruitment process and enable them to hire the right staff.

helped me think about how recruitment has changed
Cath really helped me think about how recruitment has changed and how it is an employees market now. We need to recruit differently to how things were done in the past. But we also need to recruit specifically who we are looking for. The program also identified areas in our (organisation’s) onboarding and general processes that we need to address to make recruitment and retainment viable.

A Couple More Question to Ask Yourself…
How Much Is My Service Losing By Not Transforming Our Workforce?
How many clients am I turning away or not serving properly due to understaffing?
How often do I struggle with finding suitable candidates, leading to repeated job advertisements?
How much is the low staff count affecting my current employees’ job satisfaction and causing them to leave?
When you crunch the numbers, these factors can add up to TENS of THOUSANDS of dollars per recruitment, and HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS in annual costs!

Dr Cosgrave will consult with you at the beginning of the program to schedule the 5 fortnightly calls at a convenient time for both of you on either Tuesdays or Thursdays over the 10 weeks of the program. Recordings of these sessions and summary notes will be sent after each session.
This is an important part of the program where you can connect online with others, share ideas, and receive ongoing support over the 10-week program.
