Workforce Advancement
The Australasian Institute of Digital Health (AIDH) stands at the forefront of digital health, advocating for a skilled and interconnected workforce adept in delivering healthcare in today’s digital age.
We are proud to collaborate with government departments, Industry, health services and broader healthcare agencies to build workforce capability.
We support colleges, government departments, public and private hospitals and other key healthcare bodies in areas of training and development, credentialing and standards.
Fellows and Members of the Institute are involved in many collaborative projects to develop the profession of health informatics, as well as build digital health and informatics skills and knowledge in the workplace.
Our four priority areas are:
- Standards & Frameworks– defining digital health practice standards
- Education & Credentialing – programs for the health workforce
