The NSW Health Professionals Workforce Plan 2012-2022 sets strategic targets for 1-2 years, 2-5 years and 10 years to ensure a fit for purpose workforce.
This final Progress Report at Year 8 outlines significant achievements from implementing the Plan over the last 8 years across a complex health system that needed to further adapt to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Capacities to address emerging change drivers since 2012 and immediate deviations from processes in 2020 are explained across all workforce sectors. Focusing on both future and current needs has shown that NSW Health can ensure meeting evolving community health needs.
