The e-Health Branch within the Department of Health and Ageing has a national coordinating role in managing the implementation of the HealthConnect change management strategy. It carries out its role by leveraging existing Australian, State and Territory Government and private sector initiatives to achieve the goal of a shared electronic health record network.

The Branch, in partnership with the State and Territory Governments, is fostering strong relationships between key peak stakeholder groups representing healthcare providers, consumers and industry to engage them in the implementation of the strategy.
