7 Introduction The first Health Workforce Australia (HWA) strategy plan was endorsed by Australian Health Ministers in November 2011 (HWA, 2011). The plan includes a work stream related to exploration of the viability and utility of a whole-of-health workforce competency framework. This report is the outcome of a request from HWA for a more detailed analysis of the semistructured interviews undertaken as part of the 2010-2011 research process which resulted in two reports, specifically, the initial project report (Brownie, Bahnisch, et al., 2011a) and the associated literature review (Brownie, Bahnisch, et al., 2011b). These reports were formally endorsed by the governing board of Health Workforce Australia 5 December 2011 and released for publication in April 2012. A full PDF copy of the reports can be accessed from the HWA website http://www.hwa.gov.au/publications/hwa-reports under the following header: National Common Health Competency Resource for the Australian Health Workforce Exploring the Literature: Competency-based Education and Training & Competency-Based Career Frameworks (.pdf) - report by the National Health Workforce Planning & Research Collaboration Competency-based Education and Competency-based Career Frameworks: Informing Australian health workforce development (.pdf) - report by the National Health Workforce Planning & Research Collaboration This third report adds to the initial two project reports providing more detailed commentary regarding the views expressed by HWA stakeholders during the semi-structured interview process. Prior to interviews, interviewees were forwarded a copy of the questions which would provide focus for the interview discussion (Annex 1). Informants included curriculum developers, employers, professional associations, unions and regulating bodies. A full list of participating groups/organisations is included in Annex 2. As highlighted in the initial report (Brownie, Bahnisch, et al., 2011a), questions focussed on the understanding of informants in respect to concepts such as competence within education and training and of a competency-based career framework. Areas covered included competencyrelated benefits, challenges, language and descriptors along with matters pertaining to implementation and resourcing. This report attempts to complement, rather than duplicate, material in the previous report. The information in this third report provides readers with additional rich data including many direct informants’ quotes. This provides HWA and other interested parties with the opportunity to access additional insights regarding the experiences, perceptions and views of those who were interviewed during the initial research project. While these views are not generalizable (due to the limitations of this study and the small cohort size), it is intended that the additional data presented in this report will be helpful to both HWA and the project advisory group which have been formed to consider the next steps in this important piece of work.
