Nursing Supply and Demand Study

About Nursing Supply and Demand Study

The Nursing supply and demand study model has been designed to forecast the supply and demand for nurses in Australia over the next 12 years. The model has been designed to allow the simulation of complex policy scenarios to analyse nursing workforce implications by sector, nurse type and geography.

The study aims to quantify the supply and demand for nurses between 2023 and 2035 using data collected from several sources between 2014 and 2022. This work builds upon previous studies prepared by the department and from other entities, such as Health Workforce Australia.
