Health Workforce Australia
Health Workforce Australia has been established to address the challenges of providing a skilled, flexible and innovative health workforce that meets the needs of the Australian community. It was set up by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG), which saw the need for a national, co-ordinated approach to health workforce reform.
HWA is a Commonwealth Statutory Authority and reports directly to the Australian Health Ministers' Conference (AHMC), which comprises the nine health ministers in each state, territory and the Commonwealth.
One of its aims is to devise solutions that integrate workforce planning, policy and reform with the necessary and complementary reforms to education and training.
HWA will directly advise AHMC and the health and higher education sectors on health workforce planning, policy and program initiatives, recruitment and training.
Our goal is to deliver research, policy and programs and to ensure that governments and industry leaders are informed, engaged and supported in equipping our health workforce to meet the current and future challenges.
HWA will develop policy and deliver programs across four main areas-workforce planning, policy and research; clinical education; innovation and reform of the health workforce; and the recruitment and retention of international health professionals.
HWA has already initiated a number of work programs as well as taking over the work program of the National Health Workforce Taskforce (NHWT). The NHWT was established by COAG in 2006 and was a time limited project based entity tasked with carrying out the roles of national workforce planning and research; education and training; and innovation and reform. For historical information on National Health Workforce Taskforce and other national workforce reforms, see the Australia's Health Workforce Online website.
HWA is a separate and unrelated entity to the recently established Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency.

Clinical Excellence Commission
The Clinical Excellence Commission (CEC) was established in 2004 to promote and support improved clinical care, safety and quality across the NSW health system. The primary responsibility of the CEC is to identify issues of a systemic nature that affect patient safety and clinical quality in the NSW health system and to develop and advise upon implementation strategies to address these issues. This role requires the CEC to evaluate the safety and quality of care, to advise the system in relation to its findings and to re-evaluate to determine the success of changes implemented.
In the five years since it was established, the CEC has demonstrated its value by identifying system-wide vulnerabilities and implementing clinical improvement projects. It has established a critical mass of staff with considerable experience and expertise in patient safety and clinical quality improvement. In performing these roles the CEC has been able to bridge the gaps between managers and clinicians through the development of clinical practice improvement projects, demonstrated its independence in reporting risks and vulnerabilities in patient care and has gained the trust and respect of clinicians working in the NSW health system.
Current CEC programs include:
- Between The Flags - Recognition and Management of the Deteriorating Patient
- National Hand Hygiene Initiative
- Reducing Central Line Associated Bacteraemia in Intensive Care Units (CLAB-ICU)
- NSW Falls Prevention Program
- Medication Safety Self Assessment (MSSA)/Antibiotic Stewardship
- Transfusion Medicine Improvement Program – Blood Watch
- Clinical Leadership Program
- Patient Safety Program
- Quality Systems Assessment
- Collaborating Hospitals Audit of Surgical Mortality (CHASM)
- Special Committee Investigating Deaths Under Anaesthesia (SCIDUA)
