NSW Health has commissioned a horizons scanning and scenario generation project for the Allied Health Assistant (AHA) workforce. Through consultation with key stakeholders a range of views showed the critical risks and opportunities facing the AHA workforce. The consultation helped build valuable insights and consensus to inform future workforce planning.
The report has identified 14 strategic opportunities that are supported and aligned to four overarching themes – Enablers, Enhancements, Workforce, and Education to assist with strengthening this workforce. Within the report – each strategic opportunity is supported by recommendations that can be considered for local customisation and implementation.
