Northern Australian Regional Digital Health Collaborative

Who we are

We understand that many communities across Northern Australia are eager to collaborate and build stronger, more effective healthcare systems. But we know that successful partnerships don’t just happen on their own. That’s why we’re here to provide essential support through connections, knowledge sharing, expertise, time, and resources. Together, we can achieve more — driving meaningful change in healthcare delivery across Northern Australia.

NARDHC is supported by the Australian Government Department of Education under the Strategic University Reform Fund. We are a growing partnership with six lead organisations from the health, science, technology, and academic sectors.

Together, we aim to strengthen the healthcare system in rural, regional and remote Australia by enhancing the use of innovative digital health technologies that can predict and prevent chronic and long-term diseases, support early intervention and enhance the access to quality healthcare.

We will achieve this through our dedicated digital health collaborative, who are building networks between industry, universities, and end-users (health care providers, patients, and consumers) across Northern Australia. We are actively identifying and developing digital health technologies and capacity, and designing, implementing and evaluating digital health interventions. Training and evaluation components will optimise uptake and ensure sustainability.
