Empowering Australians through digital health: the next National Digital Health Strategy

Federal, state and territory governments have agreed to a 5-year plan that puts Australians in the driving seat as they manage and improve their personal health and well-being through advances in digital technology.

Launched on 22 February 2024, Australia’s National Digital Health Strategy 2023-2028 and accompanying Strategy Delivery Roadmap provide a clear path to an inclusive, sustainable, and healthier future for all Australians.

The National Digital Health Strategy 2023-2028  sets out to achieve four clear outcomes for digital health in Australia:

  • Digitally enabled: Health services are connected, safe, secure, and sustainable.

  • Person-centred: Australians are empowered to look after their health and wellbeing, with the right information and tools.

  • Inclusive: Equitable access to health services, when and where they are needed.

  • Data-driven: Readily available data informs decision-making at the individual, community, and national level, contributing to a sustainable health system.
