An Australian Digital Health Course Directory – designed to help individuals navigate the diverse landscape of digital health education across Australian universities – has been launched by the Digital Health Cooperative Research Centre (DHCRC).
This new platform allows healthcare professionals, students, executives and technology leaders to easily search and compare courses from leading Australian universities, identify programs aligned with their career aspirations, explore topics across the digital health ‘domains of expertise’ as per the Australian Digital Health Workforce Capability Framework, and stay informed about new and upcoming learning opportunities.

The platform is the result of a collaborative effort between 37 universities participating in the Australian Council of Senior Academic Leaders in Digital Health (the Council), the Medical Research Future Fund NASCENT project (National infrastructure for real-time clinical AI trials), and the DHCRC. Together, these partners aim to strengthen digital health and artificial intelligence (AI) workforce capability and capacity across the health, information technology (IT), and computer science workforces.
Professor Clair Sullivan, Inaugural Council Chair and Director of the Queensland Digital Health Centre at the University of Queensland, said the new platform “is a significant step forward in building a skilled and confident digital health workforce across Australia”.
“By providing clear pathways for education and professional development, we can better equip our healthcare system to harness innovative technologies and improve patient outcomes,” she said.
Annette Schmiede, CEO of the Digital Health CRC, said the Directory “offers accessible, curated educational opportunities for a diverse range of learners to support their skills uplift and the digital enablement of healthcare”.
