Health and Community Services Sectors Workforce Forum

On 23 November 2023, the Queensland Care Consortium (QCC) Health and Community Services Sectors Workforce Forum brought together representatives from across these sectors and the state to collaboratively design and develop government-enabled, industry-led solutions to three workforce challenges.

The forum focused on developing actionable outcomes, facilitating connections at an industry-level, and providing advice from industry to Jobs Queensland and other government agencies to consider how they can continue to support the health and community services sectors.

Forum attendees heard from industry experts – QCC Project Champion Group (PCG) member peak bodies CheckUP, Community Services Industry Alliance (CSIA), Queensland Community of Social Service (QCOSS) and The Services Union. Attendees also heard from government representatives and participated in a series of interactive workshops.

The workshops engaged attendees in solution-oriented conversations about the three industry and workplace challenges – reputation, professional development, and psychosocial safety and wellbeing.

This forum findings report provides a comprehensive overview of the discussions and outcomes from the forum on the day, including the strategies and solutions that were discussed.
