Tasmania currently has a shortfall of approximately 100 teachers. Many of the degrees that require placements, like nursing, teaching and social work, are areas with critical workforce shortages right now. We know that students are dropping out of these degrees because they can't afford to do the required placements. Do you agree that mandatory unpaid placements are contributing to these workforce shortages?
