Description:
This plan is guided by 6 overarching strategic directions. These directions support the ongoing development of the size, capability and capacity of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workforce.
The strategic directions are:
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are represented and supported across all health disciplines, roles and functions.
- The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workforce has the necessary skills, capacity and leadership across all health disciplines, roles and functions.
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are employed in culturally safe and responsive workplace environments that are free of racism across health and all related sectors.
- There are sufficient numbers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students studying and completing health qualifications to meet the future health care needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health students have successful transitions into the workforce and access clear career pathway options.
- Information and data are provided and shared across systems to assist health workforce planning, policy development, monitoring and evaluation, and continuous quality improvement.
This plan supersedes our previous National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workforce Strategic Framework 2016–2023. It combines a refreshed strategic framework and implementation plan into one document.
