About the survey
A national picture of the aged care kitchen, told by the people in it.
Who it is for
Chefs, cooks, catering managers, food service staff and hospitality leaders in residential aged care, anywhere in Australia.
What it explores
The realities of the role: workload, training, recognition, resources and what it takes to deliver safe, dignified meals.
Aged care chefs and cooks carry clinical, regulatory and hospitality responsibility every service, yet their workforce is rarely measured in its own right. The Pulse Survey sets out to change that, with findings shared back with the sector.
How it works
Confidential and online, taking around 8 - 10 minutes. Results are reported in aggregate; no individual or site is identified.
