About this event

Since the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Australia on 25 January 2020, ACT Health has undertaken over 100 ICT projects to support the COVID-19 response in the Territory. 

At the height of the pandemic, ACT Health’s Digital Solutions Division operated the COVID-19 vaccination hotline, developed & implemented Check In CBR and even operated a COVID-19 testing centre during the lockdown. At the same time, they maintained the business as usual operations to support four public hospitals and over 40 other clinical sites across the Territory whilst also establishing an entirely new hosting environment and implementing the Digital Health Record. All in a day’s work for a CIO or, to be precise, 1,111 days!

At this presentation, you will: 

  • Learn about the digital response by ACT Health to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Hear about genuine inter-jurisdictional collaboration at a digital level in practice
  • Understand how ACT Health approached data security and cyber security in designing their new hosting environment
  • Critique ACT Health’s leadership and management strategies in delivering digital services over the last three years
