HISA and ACHI making history:
After many months of preparatory work by both organisations, I’m pleased to report the members of
HISA
and members and Fellows of the Australasian College of Health Informatics (
ACHI
) will vote next month (
16 and 17 December
) on the proposal to form a new organisation.
If both the ACHI membership and HISA membership vote in favour of the resolutions:
- ACHI and HISA will unite to form a new organisation - the Australasian Institute of Digital Health
- We will have a new Chair and an interim Board made up of 50% HISA and 50% ACHI representatives
- The new organisation will launch in February 2020
The Board of HISA and the ACHI Council have confirmed the independent Chair will be
Michael Walsh
, who is well known to the digital health community as the former Director General of Queensland Health, the inaugural CEO of eHealth NSW and the chief executive of HealthShare NSW. A digital health executive and leader, Michael was also the chair of the Australian Health Ministers’ Advisory Council (AHMAC) and was on the Board of the Australian Digital Health Agency.
Voting results will be known on or before Monday 23 December. Don’t forget to get involved and have your say.

you need to read and prepare for the vote is on
