Workforce

With one of NSWs largest rural and regional populations, we understand the challenge for many communities is the ability to access an appropriate and sustainable primary health care workforce.
By working together with local health professionals, we are committed to investigating and participating in opportunities that will strengthen workforce development and planning based on localised health needs and service gaps.
Our strong collaborations and partnerships enable us to support our rural health workforce to deliver care where it is most needed.

Ensuring a well distributed GP workforce across the region

From 1 February 2023, the Australian General Practice Training (AGPT) Program is transitioning to a college-led model. This new model will be administered through the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine and the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.

To support this transition, workforce planning and prioritisation organisations have been funded to provide localised advice on community workforce needs at the GP catchment level, through the Workforce Planning and Prioritisation (WPP) Program. Learn more by clicking on the headings below.

Allied health in primary care

We value the contribution of allied health professionals to an integrated patient centred health system.
We are committed to improving access and health outcomes for communities within our region through our commissioning processes, which support innovative models of care involving collaboration across multi-disciplinary teams.
To support our approach, we are investigating opportunities to work collaboratively with allied health professionals to strengthen workforce planning and development that aligns with local health needs and service gaps.
