Who is Health Workforce Queensland?

Health Workforce Queensland (HWQ) is a not for profit, non-Government Rural Workforce Agency dedicated to improved health outcomes for remote and rural Queenslanders through equitable and effective health workforce solutions. HWQ has a proud history of 25 years as an active contributor to the supply of quality health workforce from health student support through to recruitment and retention services for general practice and allied health employers as well as ACCHSs.

Our work is informed by our annual Health Workforce Needs Assessment, enabled by our up-to-date database of the primary health care workforce in remote and rural Queensland communities. We work closely with key health stakeholders such as Primary Health Networks, peak bodies, Hospital and Health Services, ACCHSs, primary care practices and all levels of government to inform health policy and enhance the implementation of workforce solutions.​
