Health Workforce Equity and Policy Hub

Your hub for research, analysis and evidence on equitable health workforce policy

What is the Health Workforce Equity & Policy Hub?

The Health Workforce Equity and Policy Hub is a research initiative focused on strengthening health workforce policy in Australia and beyond. It explores policy gaps, political influences, and implementation barriers to support more effective, coordinated, and equitable health workforce strategies Australia and Asia Pacific.

Our Research Themes

Our work focuses on:

  • Mapping and comparison of HWF policy
  • Investigating the political economy of HWF policy design
  • Co-designing strategies to improve implementation of equity-focused HWF policy.

Health Workforce Policy Repository

Our goal is to make health workforce policy more accessible and transparent for policymakers, researchers, and the media. We are doing this by curating public policy documents from across jurisdictions and housing them in a searchable repository. By bringing these policies together in one place, we enable faster analysis of their scope and alignment, supporting better governance, planning, and reform.
