Medical Workforce Advisory Collaboration

Health, Disability and Ageing
The role of the Medical Workforce Advisory Collaboration (MWAC), previously known as the National Medical Training Advisory Network and Medical Workforce Reform Advisory Committee, is to advise Federal, state and territory health ministers, through the Health Workforce Taskforce, on medical workforce. The MWAC will oversee ongoing implementation and evaluation of the National Medical Workforce Strategy (NMWS). This will include consideration of the annual Action Plan and making recommendations on the current and future direction of Australia's medical workforce. MWAC may establish time‑limited working groups and currently has three in operation: Generalism Working Group, Clinical Supervision Working Group, and NMWS Evaluation Reference Group.
