Career Pathways Project Report from Australia

"It is now well recognised that there continues to be a significant shortfall in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workforce"

The Career Pathways Project (CPP) focused on providing insights and guidance to enhance the capacity of the health system to retain and support the development and careers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the health workforce.

Why it is needed

“Expanding and strengthening the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health professional workforce is recognised as crucial for improving the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

“A key challenge for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander managers in both community-controlled and government health services is the recruitment, support, development and retention of a suitably skilled Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health professional workforce to meet the health and wellbeing needs of their local community.”
