Your new team – Centre for Digital Transformation of Health 

The Centre for Digital Transformation of Health is a cross-disciplinary centre that sits in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, and the School of Computing and Information Systems.  

With a vision of connected healthcare, the Centre aims to address a critical gap in the translation of digital health research, which is clearly needed if the healthcare system is to benefit from research-led advances in digital health. The Centre aims to significantly grow the field of digital health research at the University of Melbourne through creating the right environment for the type of inter-disciplinary, collaborative research that correlates with research excellence and impact to flourish. Through bringing together researchers, educators, healthcare and digital health professionals, patients and the public, the focus on translation of digital health innovations into clinical practice will enable a future where the healthcare system is transformed through digital health innovation. 

The Centre’s strategy is underpinned by connecting the strengths in health and medical research in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, to the strengths in informatics, computing and data science in the School of Computing and Information Systems and across the University to create a collaborative, inter-disciplinary ecosystem that supports translation to real-world research impact in the healthcare system. 

The appointee will work with the innovative Education and Workforce Development team within the Centre for Digital Transformation of Health. This team has been awarded the national ASCILITE Innovation Award and the University’s Norman Curry Award for Innovation and Excellence in Educational Programs for its short courses. Additionally, the team has previously won a high-profile contract with the Australian Digital Health Agency, the federal government agency responsible for digital health in Australia. This tender was to work with CSIRO and HL7 Australia to deliver workforce training essential for national plans to implement modern interoperability standards for healthcare IT (The National FHIR Training Program).
