Higher Education Strategic Plan

HETI Higher Education Strategic Plan 2023-2026

Our higher education institution (HEI) has evolved significantly in curriculum structure and business focus since the last Strategic Plan. Our student cohorts have grown across both RANZCP and TEQSA accredited courses from 193 individual students at the end of 2018 to reach 663 students by 2023-year end. Our graduations from the Applied Mental Health course have doubled over this time and tripled from the Postgraduate Course in Psychiatry. The involvement of health staff in professional development stackable credit, or microcredentials, has moved from two students in 2018 to 160 in 2022. These are outstanding results.

HETI has invested in information technology systems for student management and the continued effective operation of the learning management platform. We have a fully developed and accredited AQF8 microcredential structure for our Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma in Applied Mental Health Studies with structural changes in development for the Masters degree.

All these positive improvements continue to enhance HEI for broader significant impacts on the healthcare workforce within, and external to, NSW Health.

The overarching strategic goals of this Plan align to the broader Health Education and Training Institute’s corporate plan and include:

  • Vision
  • Purpose
  • Values

The strategy identifies three focus areas over the next three years:

  • Pathways to qualification
  • Partnering for real-world capabilities
  • Enabling our people to perform and thrive

These focus areas align directly with the key Strategic Plans of NSW Health, the pillars with whom we work, and the workforce itself. A separate document maps our activities to the key planning documents at state and national level and is available within our internal mapping documents.
