Australia's Medical Workforce 2015 has just been published as a web report by the AIHW. It looks at the demographic and employment characteristics of medical practitioners registered in Australia from 2005-2015. Some of the statistics include:- The total number of registered medical practitioners increased from 67,890 in 2005 to 97,466 in 2015.
- The supply of general practitioners changed very little between 2005 and 2015 per head of population
- There has been no increase in the supply of hospital non-specialists in the last five years, but the supply of non-GP specialists increased, and so did the supply of specialists-in-training
"This suggests that while the supply of GPs and non-specialists is keeping pace with population growth, the number of medical practitioners working in, or training to take on, roles in other specialties is growing faster."
