- the role of specialist medical colleges, universities and other training bodies in establishing sufficient workforce pathways;
- opportunities to increase engagement in the primary care sector including improved collaboration across both government and non-government child development services including Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations; and
- other government child development service models and programs operating outside of Western Australia and the applicability of those programs to the State.
