abstract: 'Introduction There is growing interest in the role of the non-government
sector in the alcohol and other drug (AOD) service delivery system. This
study examined the demographic profile of AOD workers in the
non-government (NGO) compared to government sector, to ascertain their
professional development needs, job satisfaction, retention and
turnover.
Methods This study utilised cross-sectional data from an Australian AOD
workforce online survey that assessed participants'' demographics,
employment profile, professional development needs and barriers. The
sample comprised 888 workers in direct client service roles.
Results Binomial logistic regression analysis indicated that NGO workers
were more likely to be younger (<35 years), have AOD lived experience
and have an AOD vocational qualification. NGO workers were more likely
to earn below the national average salary and report job insecurity; but
nonetheless were more likely to feel respected and supported at work,
believe their work was meaningful and be satisfied working in the AOD
sector. Their top professional development barrier was personal
financial cost. NGO workers were more likely to report employer
financial costs as a professional development barrier, whereas
government workers were more likely to report staff shortages.
Discussion and Conclusions AOD services in Australia rely increasingly
on the NGO sector. Quality services and care pivot on the size,
capability and maturity of the workforce. This study highlights the need
for systemic interventions addressing structural issues, and the
professional development and ongoing support needs of the NGO AOD
workforce. Without such support, Australia''s AOD services will be
potentially jeopardised.'
