HEALTHCARE
Sovereign infrastructure for Australian and Tasmanian healthcare providers. Privacy Act, My Health Records Act, and state health records legislation aligned. Built for general practice, aged care, allied health, hospitals, pathology, and the Tasmanian health sector — where patient data simply cannot leave Australia.
WHAT WE HEAR FROM PRACTICE MANAGERS
The themes are consistent across GP groups in Hobart, RACFs in Launceston, and day surgeries on the mainland.
My Health Records Act 2012
Health information in the My Health Record system must be held in Australia. Section 77 prohibits processing or holding records overseas. Offshore SaaS is a hard no.
Impact: Legal prohibitionPrivacy Act 1988 — Health Information
Health information is sensitive information under APP 3. Cross-border disclosure under APP 8 carries higher accountability and breach risk.
Impact: Heightened obligationsState Health Records Legislation
Tasmania (Personal Information Protection Act), Victoria (HRA 2001), and NSW (HRIPA) impose state-level health information privacy obligations on top of federal law.
Impact: Multi-jurisdictionRACGP & ADHA Standards
General practice accreditation and ADHA conformance for secure messaging, e-prescribing, and My Health Record connectivity require Australian-hosted endpoints.
Impact: Accreditation riskNotifiable Data Breaches
Health data breaches almost always meet the serious harm threshold. Mandatory OAIC notification within 30 days. Foreign vendors complicate timelines and forensics.
Impact: Reputational damageWorkforce & Connectivity
Rural and regional clinics across Tasmania and Australia need infrastructure that survives intermittent connectivity, not cloud-only stacks that brick when the link drops.
Impact: Continuity of careHEALTH SEGMENTS
General Practice & Allied Health
Multi-site practices on Best Practice, Medical Director, or Genie needing sovereign hosting, secure messaging, and reliable backup outside their PMS vendor.
GPs, dentists, physios, psychologists, podiatristsAged Care & Disability
Residential aged care and NDIS providers managing clinical records, rostering, and client data under the Aged Care Quality Standards and NDIS Practice Standards.
RACFs, home care, NDIS providers, retirement livingHospitals & Day Surgeries
Private hospitals and day procedure centres balancing PMS, PACS, and clinical systems while meeting state health department reporting obligations.
Private hospitals, day surgeries, specialist clinicsPathology, Imaging & Pharmacy
High-volume diagnostic and dispensing operations needing deterministic latency, long-term sovereign archives, and HL7/FHIR integration with referrers.
Pathology labs, radiology, community pharmacyPublic Health & Research
State health services, university medical schools, and clinical researchers handling patient cohorts under HREC approvals and NHMRC data management requirements.
PHOs, research institutes, university hospitalsTasmanian Health Sector
Local DHS providers, community health, Aboriginal health services, and rural clinics where Tasmanian-resident infrastructure resolves both Privacy Act and PIPA obligations.
Community health, ACCHOs, rural and remote clinicsHOW WE DESIGN FOR HEALTH
Patient data stays in Australia
Default residency in Tasmania. No silent replication to US-east-1. No telemetry siphoned to overseas analytics vendors.
Continuity of care first
Designs that survive a fibre cut, a regional outage, or a SaaS vendor going dark. Clinics keep operating; patients keep being seen.
Audit-ready by default
Logging, backup verification, access reviews, and change records produced as evidence for RACGP, ADHA, and HREC reviews — not as an afterthought.
Open, portable formats
HL7, FHIR, DICOM, plain SQL. If you ever leave us, your data leaves with you in formats your next vendor can read.
FRAMEWORKS WE ALIGN TO
We are not lawyers or auditors. We build infrastructure that makes accreditation, HREC review, and OAIC reporting straightforward, and we work alongside your compliance and clinical governance leads.
