Partnerships & Workforce Development
Building a stronger healthcare workforce ecosystem
Wofo’s growth is not only measured by shifts filled or workers registered. We are also focused on building partnerships that help make healthcare contracting more sustainable, better supported, and more professionally rewarding.
These initiatives are part of Wofo’s wider commitment to supporting contractors, strengthening workforce capability, and helping healthcare providers access people who are better prepared, better supported, and ready to contribute.
Contractor Support
Hnry partnership
Wofo has partnered with Hnry to help make life easier for independent healthcare professionals working as contractors. The partnership gives Wofo contractors access to support designed to reduce financial admin, improve tax confidence, and make contracting simpler to manage.
Through this partnership, contractors can access Hnry’s all-in-one accounting service for contractors and sole traders, including support for income tax, GST, ACC, onboarding resources, and financial wellbeing education.
For Wofo, this is part of building a more sustainable contractor experience. Better financial support helps workers focus on the work they do best while reducing friction and compliance risk across the platform.
Training & Development
Careerforce training agreement
Wofo has formalised a training agreement with Careerforce, the industry training organisation supporting work-based learning across the health, wellbeing, social, and community sectors.
This partnership supports Wofo contractors through selected unit standards, helping create pathways toward nationally recognised qualifications while they continue doing meaningful work across the healthcare sector.
For healthcare providers, this reflects Wofo’s focus on lifting workforce capability, supporting ongoing professional development, and helping strengthen care outcomes across the sector.
Better contractor support
Partnerships like Hnry help reduce financial admin and give contractors practical support beyond shift access.
Stronger workforce capability
Training pathways help support professional growth and improve confidence across healthcare environments.
Better outcomes for providers
A better supported workforce helps facilities access people who are more prepared, more confident, and better equipped.
