National effort on post-COVID response

As the health system settles into a new rhythm and moves beyond the pandemic curve, many of us are asking how can we be better prepared for the future?
How can we learn from the past six months and be ready for the inevitable challenges ahead?

Members have made it clear they want to see telehealth and virtual care the business “norm”.

No one wants to lose momentum at this critical point. It was heartening to read the Government has announced funding for Australian researchers to develop digital health infrastructure.

Many of our Fellows and Members will be interested in these opportunities around predictive modelling, digital tools for remote screening, diagnostics and monitoring. The digital health community has the knowledge and expertise in this and so much more.

We would like you to tell us what you believe our national effort on improving the health system response to COVID-19 and future pandemics needs to encompass. Please take a few minutes to complete our survey here.
