Collaboration
The HSFS is enabling, linking and facilitating collaboration across the health industry in Queensland. The fundamental aim of the HSFS is to bring stakeholders together to collaborate on workforce development issues. All work undertaken by the HSFS is done through a collaborative approach with stakeholders to ensure relevance and sustainability and to build the capacity of the industry to continue to work together to enhance its capabilities.
Stakeholders
In progressing the key activities and initiatives of the HSFS partnerships are established with and between health industry and education and training stakeholders through a range of mechanisms such as industry forums, working groups, focus groups, advisory and network entities. This facilitates activities and initiatives to be driven by industry stakeholders and sectors.
A range of mechanisms have been established to enable industry to lead workforce initiatives and activities within the HSFS which include:
Establishing Lasting Linkages
Activities and initiatives of the HSFS are designed to facilitate sustainable outcomes. Activities and initiatives will continue to address the workforce needs of the industry into the future, steered by the networks and partnerships established throughout the HSFS project period. Three formal networks are currently in place to support relevant activities of the HSFS.
Industry Leaders Group
The Health Industry Leaders Group is a cross representative
forum established as part of the HSFS to champion key initiatives
with the shared purpose of improving health care through a
sustainable and innovative workforce. This comprehensive
multi-sectoral representative group is committed to utilising their
knowledge, expertise, networks and resources at a local, state and
national level to work together to ensure we have a range of short,
medium and long term workforce solutions to support our health
system. The Health Industry Leaders Group provides oversight and
steerage to the work of the HSFS. View the

Education and Training Network
The Education and Training Network will support the facilitation of flexible, effective and innovative education and training strategies to enable a sustainable and responsive workforce in Queensland. The work of the Education and Training Network is guided by the Health Industry Leaders Group.
Chronic Conditions Self Management Network
