NSW Health Workforce Plan 2022-2032

Summary

Future Health sets a vision for the future of the health system in NSW and requires a new workforce plan to guide the next phase of workforce development. The NSW Health Workforce Plan 2022-2032 provides a delivery framework to guide the implementation of Future Health's workforce-related strategies across the health system.

We aim to:

• build positive work environments that bring out the best in everyone
• strengthen diversity in our workforce and decision-making
• empower staff to work to their full potential around the future care needs
• equip our people with the skills and capabilities to be an agile, responsive workforce
• attract and retain skilled people who put patients first
• unlock the ingenuity of our staff to build work practices for the future.
  

The plan will guide collaboration across NSW Health to develop state-wide initiatives for the system, and for local workforce plans in LHNs/SHNs to translate system priorities into local actions. Regular reporting will provide a structured assessment of progress towards the workforce objectives. This process will enable identify partnership opportunities across the organisation and help see where a change or additional focus may be required.
