The Workforce Council is a peak body for Queensland’s health and community services workforce. We work collaboratively with government, industry organisations, workplaces, individuals, education and training providers and other stakeholders to ensure the future viability of our industry’s workforce.
Our expertise is in delivering workforce planning, workforce development and skills development strategies, support and advice. We undertake workforce research, design and deliver workforce plans, and coordinate over 1,000 skilling and professional development activities each year, reaching more than 20,000 workers.
The Workforce Council is available to support your workforce and skilling needs. Over the past 20 years we have supported hundreds of organisations to forecast the future demands on their services, plan their workforce accordingly and develop strategies and roadmaps to successfully attract, skill and retain the workforce they need to meet those demands.
