Mackay HHS Workforce Strategy 2026 - 2035

It sets the long-term direction, intent and priorities for our workforce — enabling service-level and discipline-specific planning to occur within a consistent, aligned strategic architecture

Our workforce is planned, capable and sustainable where investment decisions are guided by a shared, evidence-based direction that anticipates future demand and builds the skills and supply we need.

Our people are engaged, valued and choose to stay because we have created an environment where employees thrive, feel connected to our purpose, and are supported to grow.

The strategy aligns directly to the MHHS Strategic Plan 2024–2028 and the four strategic objectives: Quality Care, Empowered People, Healthy Communities and Sustainable Organisation.

The strategy operates as part of an integrated workforce planning framework, complementing the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workforce Strategic Framework and discipline-speci*c workforce strategies.
