Our mission is to improve the quality of healthcare for all, through evidence.
We believe research and innovation in digital health offers Australia significant economic and business development opportunities, as well as great promise for the better health of our community.
In April 2018, the Australian Government announced $55 million in funding for the Digital Health Cooperative Research Centre (DHCRC). This grant, covering a seven-year period, came into effect in July 2018.
The Challenge
Australia's health costs as a percentage of GDP are increasing dramatically. In the 10 years to 2013-14, health expenditure outstripped inflation, population growth and the rate of population aging.
In 2017-18 total healthcare spend was $185.4 billion - (Source: AIHW)
In an age when people expect access to advanced healthcare and better health outcomes, public and private health organisations alike recognise that ‘STEM' skills are crucial. As a result of this, and the rapid digitisation of health services around the world, the demand for health data scientists, health technologists and technology-literate clinical staff has never been greater.
