Health Workforce Australia

HWA is an initiative of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG). It was established to meet the future challenges of providing a health workforce that responds to the needs of the Australian Community.

HWA will develop policy and deliver programs across four main areas—workforce planning, policy and research; clinical education; innovation and reform of the health workforce; and the recruitment and retention of international health professionals. HWA will also consider the adequacy and availability of workforce data.

HWA is investigating issues related to support for Clinical Supervision. As a preliminary scoping exercise HWA developed a discussion paper that asks for stakeholders to respond to 17 questions. In collaboration with ANTS Executive members and Branch committee members Christine Taylor (Secretary) prepared a response and submitted it to HWA.
