The NT needs to increase its health workforce by 28%
Publicly released:
Australia; NT
The NT health workforce needs to be increased by about 28% to reflect the population burden of disease and injury, according to Australian research. The study found that although the number of health workers per 1000 people was slightly higher in the NT than for the whole of Australia, it was smaller with respect to burden of disease. In particular, 464 more nurses and midwives, 196 more physiotherapists, 189 more psychologists, 152 more pharmacists, and 144 more dentists are needed in the NT to match the corresponding numbers of health workers by disease burden for Australia as a whole.
