Health Workforce Data
Welcome to the Department’s Health Workforce Data website. This website and integrated Health workforce data tool provide access to reports and summary tables for the health workforce in Australia.
The NHWDS
The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), in conjunction with the national boards, is responsible for the national registration process for 14 health professions. The data from this annual registration process, together with data from a workforce survey that is voluntarily completed at the time of re-registration, forms the National Health Workforce Dataset (NHWDS).
MET data
With the functions of the Medical Training Review Panel (MTRP) report being absorbed by National Medical Training Advisory Network (NMTAN) in early 2017, NMTAN agreed to release medical education and training (MET) data similar to that published in previous MTRP reports.
The newly created Medical Education and Training (MET) Dataset is made available online each year and reports the annual changes in medical education and training in Australia. The dataset aims to continue the time series from MTRP and is presented in the same tabled format as the former publications.
