The project in more detail
HNECC PHN has engaged Beacon Strategies, a consultancy specialising in health and social services, to conduct a comprehensive workforce planning initiative focused on the allied health professions and primary care nursing.
The objective is to assess workforce supply and demand, addressing the specific needs of each Local Government Area (LGA) in our region.
The insights gathered from this engagement process will directly inform workforce plans and contribute to a sustainable, skilled workforce strategy for the HNECC PHN region.
Your participation is crucial in developing a workforce plan that reflects the real-world challenges and opportunities you and your professions face.
We look forward to your contributions to building a stronger, more resilient healthcare workforce across our communities.
