The Australian medical workforce, like those of most developed countries, is increasingly "feminised" and exposed to the global market for doctors. Demand for healthcare services is increasing in the Australian community. Concern in relation to doctor shortages is increasing, particularly in rural areas. There should be greater flexibility for entry of highly-trained overseas doctors. There is an urgent need to increase medical school student intake. Issues of workforce practice, including "task" substitution, should be explored.
与大多数发达国家一样，澳大利亚的医疗劳动力日益“女性化”，并置身于全球医生市场之中。澳大利亚社区对医疗服务的需求不断增加。对医生短缺的担忧也在加剧，尤其是在农村地区。应给予受过高度培训的海外医生更大的准入灵活性。迫切需要增加医学院校的学生招生人数。应探讨包括“任务”替代在内的劳动力实践问题。
