More doctors, nurses, midwives and allied health workers thanks to $1.7 billion strategy

The Miles Government is committed to hiring the health workforce Queensland needs to deliver world-class healthcare, closer to home.

We have a plan to get it done - the Queensland Health Workforce Strategy 2032, backed by an initial investment of $1.7 billion.

We’ll hire an additional 700 doctors, 2,600 nurses and midwives, and 1,000 allied health staff budget to budget.

Our goal is to expand the entire workforce by 45,000 by 2032.

$40,000 up for grabs to grow Queensland’s GP workforce

The Miles Government is supporting medical graduates to choose general practice as their specialty training through a special grant.

Queensland doctors will receive a $40,000 boost to train as a GP under a new $20 million workforce attraction incentive scheme.

This will ensure more GPs are working in our regional and remote communities and the GP workforce remains strong now and into the future.
