ACHI / HISA Merger Special General Meeting Announced - For Information.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
Dear Member / Fellow,

The Council of the Australasian College of Health Informatics (ACHI) and the Board of the Health Informatics Society of Australia (HISA) are pleased to invite you to vote on the proposal to combine our two organisations and form a new peak body for digital health and health informatics. 
 
A Special General Meeting for ACHI Fellows and members will be held on: 
 
Monday 16 December at 6:00pm at the Australian Digital Health Agency,
L25, 175 Liverpool Street, Sydney.   

The agenda and meeting details are in the Notice of Special General Meeting.

To vote, Fellows and members need to either 1) be present in person at the meeting; 2) be present via GoToWebinar during the meeting; 3) submit a proxy form. Those with voting rights will only be able to vote once.  

 As you may be aware from the eight-week consultation period held in May-June 2019, the proposal has been discussed and evaluated by the Board of HISA and the ACHI Council for nearly two years. 
 
We believe a new peak body will provide significant benefits to members both as individuals and organisationally that will flow onto many thousands of stakeholders across our health and care sector. 
 
Our organisations have worked together collaboratively since ACHI was formed 20 years ago and today that relationship is as strong and strategic as ever. We believe that combining our forces and building a new organisation will strengthen our ability to deliver on the core outcomes you've grown to expect and to deliver better and more strategic programs that best serve all stakeholders as health progresses into the digital age. 
 
On behalf of the ACHI Council and the HISA Board, we encourage you to vote. Please review the official documentation below and don't hesitate to contact us with any requests for further information. You can also download these documents and review the Frequently Asked Questions at achi.org.au/neworganisation.
