Virtual Issue: Predicting and planning the optometric workforce in Australia
Research on the Australian optometric workforce has been published in Clinical and Experimental Optometry and its forerunners, the Australian Journal of Optometry and The Australasian Journal of Optometry, for more than 60 years. This Virtual Issue brings together all those papers in one electronic issue.
The earlier papers were more discursive and based on opinion and deduction rather than detailed analysis. This changed in 1969, when Cole¹ published the first study that collected and analysed hard data.
Subsequent research into the workforce in Australia and New Zealand has delved deeper and roamed wider, and progressively the research and analysis have become more sophisticated. Kiely and colleagues have involved demographers; others have employed statisticians.
Most of the more recent research has been conducted under the auspices of professional associations.
