Abstract
This chapter describes a nationally led approach to workforce development by analyzing three workforce development initiatives within the adult mental health and addiction sector in New Zealand. New Zealand has been on an important and critical journey with regards workforce development over the past 15 years, one which has significantly altered the way services are delivered. In order to understand this journey, some background information relevant to New Zealand will be provided covering the context of mental health, epidemiology of mental health illness, service delivery, use of evidence based treatments, as well as funding and investment in workforce development. The three workforce development initiatives are then described: 1) key knowledge, skills, values and attitudes for all people working in mental health and addiction services, 2) development of an outcomes culture, and 3) post graduate clinical training for nurses and allied health professionals.
