Medical workforce supply and demand in Australia: a discussion paper
In the three years since the report Australian Medical Workforce Benchmarks was finalised, substantial changes have occurred in the Australian health sector which impact on the medical workforce. To assist in updating the national medical workforce benchmarks, this broad-ranging discussion paper has been prepared to seek views on the approaches to the estimation of future workforce needs and the issues which need to be considered in the update of the benchmarks.
