Message from the CEO
HISA has won the bid to host the international congress MedInfo 2021 in Sydney! As host of the 18th World Congress on Medical and Health Informatics, we will bring to Australia world leaders in our field - innovators, researchers, implementers and the change agents who are transforming healthcare globally. HISA members from all sectors will meet, learn from and form connections of a truly international flavour. MedInfo was last held in our region in 2007, in Brisbane. How far we have come! Today, digital health technologies and health informatics are poised to transform healthcare. Hosting MedInfo is one more opportunity to showcase Australia’s digital health community. Start planning ahead now! Follow us @Medinfo2021 and sign up for updates at www.medinfo2021.org.
PS: A shout out to those members and stakeholders who have greatly supported our bid and especially the superstars who took part in our pitch video.

HISA 'Steptaculars'!
Some of the HISA team have taken on the challenge of 10,000 steps a day, for the entire month of Steptember, to raise vital funds for Cerebral Palsy Alliance.

If you’re not sure where to start, a donation of $58 could support research actively preventing CP in newborn babies. You are invited to donate through our official team fundraising page. Any amount you contribute would make a huge difference to children and adults living with cerebral palsy. Thanks from the HISA team!
