Want to change healthcare with cutting edge digital technologies?

The Fast Healthcare Interoperable Resource (FHIR) standard is changing healthcare – enabling the sharing of data using modern computer technologies and setting the stage for new technologies including artificial intelligence.

  • Would you like to utilise your skills developing FHIR software and solutions to deliver high-impact solutions within the area of integration, reference implementations, and tooling?
  • Do you feel excited about FHIR, interoperability, systems integration, and keen to enable exchange of digital health information across the AU health sector?
  • Are you eager to create, standardise and maintain national and international FHIR standards to support exchange of digital health information?

Inspired by a team of Australia’s brightest research scientists and thinkers, a collective culture and links to leading national health and tech agencies, we are determined to revolutionise the way Australia and the world do healthcare – one solution at a time. We thrive on a culture of can-do, collaboration and communication. And we’re growing. We would love to hear from you.
We are committed to continuously building a diverse, inclusive and flexible working environment where all our people are supported to do their best work and feel empowered to let their ideas flourish.
