The strategy: 5 focus areas for change

To achieve our vision, we need to have the right number of healthcare workers, with the right skills, in the right roles and locations. We will increase workforce supply with a focus on growing our own, retaining the skilled workers we have, and supporting ongoing skill and career development.

This Strategy outlines how we will achieve this through five pillars of change and 12 action areas to build the workforce Victoria needs now and in 10 years’ time. Actions will be implemented over three horizons – short, medium and long term.

The 5 focus areas are:

1. Increase supply of priority roles.
2. Strength rural regional workforces.
3. Improve employee experience.
4. Build future roles and capabilities.
5. Leverage digital, data and technology.
