Program Overview

The Strategic Health Infrastructure Program is an Australian Government program funded under the Papua New Guinea Australia (PNGAus) Partnership. The program aims to design and deliver high-quality, resilient, and universally accessible health infrastructure projects with a significant focus on gender equality, disability and social inclusion, and adhere to Australia’s safeguarding policies and development effectiveness guidelines. In addition, the program’s infrastructure will incorporate sustainability and resiliency design elements to mitigate climate change forecasts and disaster risk outlooks. 

The lack of appropriate health facilities and safe, secure and accessible housing for health staff are significant challenges for PNG, particularly in regional and remote areas where 85 per cent of the population live. The current conditions and locations of healthcare infrastructure can compromise patient safety, reduce the quality of services and discourage health professionals from taking up essential roles. It is essential that health facilities are redeveloped and upgraded to ensure communities can access quality health services delivered by qualified health practitioners.

The SHI Program is working to improve health care services in two priority locations. In Lae, Morobe Province, the project will design and refurbish the GWARE building at ANGAU Memorial Provinvial Hospital. In Daru, Western Province, the project will provide safe, secure and accessible accommodation for health workers and Provincial Health Authority staff with new Daru Hospital staff housing.

Call for Australian Registered Training Organisations including First Nations organisations
An opportunity to be part of a panel of organisations and consultants providing skills training, strengthening and advice on the Australian Government’s Pacific Australia Skills program in the Pacific, covering the Pacific and Timor-Leste.

About Pacific Australia Skills
Pacific Australia Skills is the Australian Government’s regional skills and training program (2025-2029) supporting quality skills for employment in the Pacific and Timor-Leste. The program is guided by national priorities of each country and works alongside government, training providers, employers, industry and community partners to strengthen skills systems, support demand-driven training, and expand pathways to work and livelihoods. Pacific Australia Skills builds on the successes and partnerships of the previous regional skills program, the Australia Pacific Training Coalition (APTC), which supported skills development across the Pacific from 2007 to 2025.

Pacific Australia Skills is working with partners across three main outcome areas:

1. Strengthening skills systems;
2. Training for employment; and
3. Regional and cross-country linkages.

The program also has a strong focus on inclusion and accessibility, supporting women, young people, people with disabilities and communities facing barriers to education and employment. Pacific Australia Skills also supports skills systems strengthening and training linked to resilience, sustainability and industries that are adapting to climate change and environmental challenges.

In addition, Pacific Australia Skills places locally led development (LLD) at the centre of its approach, supporting Pacific and Timor-Leste partners to lead decision-making, shape priorities, and drive sustainable skills system reform.

About the Technical Skills Panel
The aim of the Technical Skills Panel (TSP) is to deliver skills, training, systems strengthening and relevant sector expertise from providers operating in Pacific Island countries, Timor-Leste and Australia. The TSP is intended to be a flexible and on-demand mechanism to respond to planned and emerging needs in skills and systems strengthening over the life of the Pacific Australia Skills program. Successful delivery of Pacific Australia Skills requires a broad skill set and experience, which is supported through the TSP. The TSP allows Pacific Australia Skills to support workforce readiness through targeted and responsive vocational training delivered through a network of quality training providers. It is the central delivery mechanism for supporting training for employment through the program. The TSP contributes to skills development and system strengthening through facilitating capability development and enabling regional and cross country-linkages through peer learning and twinning arrangements.

Opportunities will be made available to members on an as-needed basis, and panel members will be invited to quote for opportunities (depending on the requirements of the task).

About the Solomon Islands Australia Partnership – Stronger Education Together

The intent is that parents and members of the community develop a sense of ownership of educational institutions.
