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. A full breakdown of initiatives funded under the Health Workforce Strategy for Queensland 2032 is available here. |
