Abstract
The Australian population is ageing which, in turn, will lead to an increased demand for surgical health services. So too the perioperative nurse matures, with over 50 per cent of the current Australian perioperative nursing workforce being older than 51 years; 41 per cent are between 51 and 60 years, and 15 per cent are older than 60 years of age.
