HL7 Australia is Australia’s community for healthcare interoperability standards. We bring together government, healthcare providers, industry, implementers and standards experts to develop, adapt and support standards and specifications that enable health information to be exchanged safely and consistently to support better care.
For more than 25 years, HL7 Australia and its members have contributed to the development and localisation of HL7 standards to meet Australian requirements. Today this includes developing, balloting and publishing Australian specifications and implementation guides based on HL7 International standards including HL7® FHIR®, supporting the adoption and implementation of HL7 standards in Australia, and representing Australian interests within the global HL7 community.
Membership of HL7 Australia provides opportunities to engage in these activities, help shape Australian interoperability standards and be part of many HL7 International activities.
We create and promote the adoption of cutting-edge, consensus-based interoperability standards that enable a digitally enabled, person-centred, inclusive, and data-driven health ecosystem.
By 2029, we aspire:
To be recognised as a critical partner in the digital transformation of the Australian health ecosystem.
For HL7 and HL7 Australia standards to underpin the provision of secure, fit-for-purpose, and connected digital solutions nationwide.
For the Australian healthcare sector to recognise us as the leading health informatics standards development and implementation organisation in Australia.
The HL7 Australia Board is a volunteer board responsible for supporting a collaborative and open community in Australia to develop interoperability standards.
