| Abstract: | On 19th June 2025, the federal Department of Health, Disability and Ageing released the Psychiatry Supply and Demand Compendium report, 1 which provides modelled calculations of baseline and projected Australian psychiatrist workforce levels and needs. These models suggest a substantial undersupply. The supply of domestic trainees and overseas-trained psychiatrists merits further study. Career pathways, succession planning, and leadership development need attention. This editorial discusses the implications of the report, by examining the methodology, 2 current workforce context, and identifying areas that merit further research. The report projects supply and demand, and needs to be considered in the development of a workforce plan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
