Actions to build future social assistance and allied health workforce
The McGowan Government today released its blueprint to address the growing demand for skilled workers in the State’s rapidly expanding social assistance and allied health sector.
The strategic action plan addresses 25 recommendations put forward by the State Training Board, government’s chief industry advisory body on WA’s training and workforce needs, in its Social Assistance and Allied Health: Future Workforce Skills report.
The report and its recommendations, which specifically aim to develop the Aboriginal health and wellbeing, mental health and alcohol and other drugs support workforces, were informed by extensive consultation with the social assistance and allied health sector across WA, undertaken in conjunction with Community Skills WA.
