The term 'brain drain' refers to the net migration of skilled people from one place to another. The 'brain drain' in health is a part of a global health workforce crisis because of the net migration of health professionals from resource-poor countries to resource-rich countries.
The PHM Oz Brain Drain Working Group aims to:
- raise awareness of the brain drain issues in Australia,
- advocate for change in Australian policy to reflect the need for global equity in access to health resources,
- to collaborate with other PHM groups who are working on brain drain issues and
- to explore possible solutions in Australia and globally.
