The education and training program links into Principle 4 of the National Health Workforce Strategic Framework which refers to education and training, and the need for responsive action, stating:
"cohesive action is required among the health, education, vocational training and regulatory sectors to promote an Australian health workforce that is knowledgeable, skilled, competent, engaged in life long learning and distributed to optimise equitable health outcomes"
Key objectives
The key objectives of the Education and Training Program are to:
- Investigate ways to maximise the capacity of the health and education systems to provide sufficient numbers of appropriately trained and qualified graduates to meet projected demands.
- To develop strategies to ensure that education and training is appropriate, responsive and relevant to changing health system needs and that it supports innovation and reform in the workforce.
