Pharmacy Daily | Workforce review

THE former Director-General of the NSW Departments of Human Services and Community Services, Jenny Mason, has been appointed to lead a review of the Australian Government’s health workforce programs. The review will analyse existing programs to ensure these are aligned with workforce priorities; look at rural health programs to ensure optimal service delivery; and investigate information and key stakeholder experiences to evaluate whether the objectives of current measures are being met and whether these programs could be improved. The review will also identify opportunities to better align measures with workforce priorities, including through modifications and amendments to existing measures, or development of new measures; and provide advice to government about how to support the delivery of a high quality, well distributed optimally utilised and responsive health workforce.
