Welcome to Health Workforce Australia

Welcome to the Health Workforce Australia (HWA) website - a central hub to find information on all things health workforce related in 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.
