About Health Workforce Australia (HWA)<br />
‣ Building a sustainable health workforce that meets the<br />
healthcare needs of all Australians<br />
‣ This workforce should have the capacity to meet the<br />
growing demands on Australia’s healthcare system,<br />
arising from:<br />
• an ageing population<br />
• growth in chronic disease<br />
• increased community expectation<br />
‣ A Commonwealth Government statutory authority<br />

<strong>Clinical</strong> <strong>Supervision</strong> <strong>Support</strong> <strong>Program</strong> (CSSP)<br />
‣ HWA is coordinating a targeted development program<br />
that aims to expand clinical supervision capacity and<br />
competence across the education and training<br />
continuum<br />
‣ Funding for implementation of CSSP projects and<br />
activities will be provided through jurisdictions,<br />
integrated regional clinical training networks and<br />
national projects<br />

<strong>Clinical</strong> <strong>Supervision</strong> <strong>Support</strong> <strong>Program</strong> (CSSP):<br />
Areas of focus<br />
‣ Clarity: aims to achieve agreement and accountability<br />
across professions, jurisdictions and educational<br />
institutions in relation to the role and function of a clinical<br />
supervisor<br />
‣ Quality: aims to improve the quality of clinical<br />
supervision, build local capacity, reduce the tension<br />
between service delivery and teaching and to make the<br />
most effective use of clinical supervisors’ time<br />
‣ Culture: aims to recognise and reinforce the value and<br />
contribution of clinical supervisors and to enable<br />
collaboration within and across professions<br />

CSSP terminology<br />
‣ The terminology as defined in the framework is not<br />
intended to override the specific language, terminology<br />
and other definitions used by individuals or organisations<br />
within the health sector when referring to education and<br />
training roles or functions within professions, healthcare<br />
service providers, facilities, sites and local areas<br />
‣ The definitions are presented to facilitate dialogue with<br />
stakeholders on all HWA projects and activities<br />

CSSP terminology<br />
‣ <strong>Clinical</strong> supervisor:<br />
“A clinical supervisor is an appropriately qualified and<br />
recognised professional who guides students’<br />
education and training during clinical placements. The<br />
supervisor’s role may encompass educational, support<br />
and managerial functions. The clinical supervisor is<br />
responsible for ensuring safe, appropriate and high<br />
quality patient care”<br />
8
CSSP terminology<br />
‣ <strong>Clinical</strong> supervision:<br />
“This involves the oversight – either direct or indirect – by<br />
a clinical supervisor of professional procedures and/or<br />
processes performed by a student or a group of<br />
students within a clinical placement for the purpose of<br />
guiding, providing feedback on, and assessing<br />
personal, professional and educational development in<br />
the context of each student’s experience of providing<br />
safe, appropriate and high quality patient care”<br />
9
CSSP terminology<br />
‣ Student:<br />
“For ease of reference the framework uses the term<br />
“student” to refer to a person undertaking education<br />
and training in a clinical placement within the heath<br />
sector. The term is intended to encompass the VET<br />
sector, professional entry to postgraduate students and<br />
vocational trainees in medicine, nursing and midwifery,<br />
dental and allied health”<br />

<strong>National</strong> competency framework for clinical<br />
supervision<br />
‣ The <strong>National</strong> <strong>Clinical</strong> <strong>Supervision</strong> Competency<br />
Framework (NCSCF) is being developed to identify the<br />
generic competency requirements associated with the<br />
roles and functions of clinical supervisors across the<br />
education and training continuum<br />
11
<strong>National</strong> competency framework for clinical<br />
supervision<br />
‣ The framework specifically:<br />
• provides a flexible competency and education<br />
framework that acts as a benchmark for the training<br />
and education of clinical supervisors<br />
• promotes the best use of the available clinical<br />
supervision workforce<br />
• provides an increased opportunity to build interprofessional<br />
collaboration and teamwork<br />
