Digital Health Systems in Australia

Digital health systems refer to programs and technologies that help organise health information, support streamlined communication between different entities within the health system, and attempt to improve access to services.

 

Australia's national digital health ecosystem include:

• My Medicare

• My Health Record

• Telehealth services

 

They are part of Australia’s broader health infrastructure.  They do not replace clinical judgement, and they do not guarantee access, funding, or specific outcomes.  Access and availability may vary depending on location, workforce capacity, internet access, service design, and individual circumstances. Experiences may differ across metropolitan, regional, rural, and remote areas.
