Health technology

Healthcare must be effective and affordable.

To deal with changing demographics and patterns of disease, Australia must develop and deploy advanced technologies that are effective across all populations, including the aged and people with disability.

Technologies can play a major role in reducing healthcare costs and improving patient outcomes when they are socially accepted and widely adopted. Such technologies can also enhance Australia’s economy if they are developed from a strong Australian industry base which draws on world-class research and development.
