There has been a call to engage in face-to-face workshops on the development of the National Nursing Workforce Strategy.
The Commonwealth and Victoria, in collaboration with all states and territories, are developing a National Nursing Workforce Strategy to address workforce challenges and support the nursing profession to deliver person-centred, evidence-based, compassionate care to Australian communities across all sectors now and into the future.
Consultation is now open to capture views on nursing workforce issues and opportunities for improvement. Face-to-face workshops are scheduled around Australia. The Melbourne session is schedules for 24 November, and there is a session in Bendigo scheduled for 22 November.
Sign up to attend a workshop at www.health.gov.au/nnwsconsultation.
Consultation activities will run from September until the end of November 2023. Future opportunities to have your say include targeted interviews, sector specific webinars, yarning circles, community conversations and an online survey.
All consultation activities will be available at www.health.gov.au/nnwsconsultation.
Please contact nursepolicy@health.gov.au if you have been unable to book into a session and we will do our best to offer an alternative.
