AAHP Capability Framework
Developed through extensive collaboration with health planners across Australia and New Zealand, the AAHP Capability Framework sets a professional benchmark for the field. Drawing on established legislation and professional standards including Australian health professional legislation, the Architects Act, the Legal Practitioners Act, and the rules of the Institution of Engineers - the Framework was refined through consultation with 80 health planners and has evolved based on membership applications.
As the first of its kind globally, this framework provides a structured approach to defining and advancing health planning expertise. It recognises four key health planning profiles while acknowledging that many professionals operate across multiple domains. The framework is a living document, continually evolving to reflect the dynamic nature of health planning.
