The Ministry has published the NSW Health Workforce Plan 2022-2032 ('the Plan') to support the state's health workforce to deliver safe, reliable and person-centred care, driving the best outcomes and experiences. This Plan outlines the Ministry's workforce vision and its urgent system priorities to achieve this vision.
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 Plan provides a delivery framework to guide the implementation of Future Health's workforce-related strategies across the health system.

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.
