A number of state-wide workforce supply and capability initiatives have been developed to build workforce intelligence, inform changed practice and provide sector leadership.
These initiatives will help to:
- Analyse the big picture across the sector skills ecosystem to identify state wide drivers, responses and emerging trends to help build a sustainable workforce;
- Research Queensland’s current and future NDIS workforce to inform, evidence-based state wide and local workforce planning and development;
- Coordinate articulation of the disability workforce in Queensland, drawing on existing intelligence and identifying gaps;
- Provide easy to use data to support workforce planning and preparation;
- Provide initiatives, tools and resources produced in Queensland and other jurisdictions to support placed based planning of responses to workforce need;
- Engage strategic leaders to assist all stakeholders in understanding the full and systemic change and workforce transition required as a result of the introduction of the NDIS; and
- Develop organisation’s capability to plan for their future workforce through the delivery of a NDIS workforce planning skills program.
