It’s the world of virtual care!
Tomorrow (3 April) the
Australian Telehealth Conference 2019
opens in Brisbane at Rydges Southbank for a packed two days with great keynote speakers and two
excellent workshops
– UX design and data analysis. This year our international speakers will be describing case studies in Scotland and Hawaii. And our enthused exhibitors have taken every inch of the available space! If you haven’t already registered there is still time, and you are also welcome to turn up at Rydges at 8.30am and join us. Follow

On another note:
Moving office is a bit like moving house! We were sad to say goodbye after outgrowing our premises of nearly a decade, but excited for the future of HISA when we opened the doors in South Melbourne on Monday. Please drop in and say hello to the HISA team if you are in the neighbourhood!
