Just don’t get what they do. All it looks like is a government department running a database and some guidelines. Better off working for one of the major vendors or state health departments.
I have looked around but it is not easy to find who is looking to the next horizon, what comes next? How will that work and what are the transition steps?
FHIR is ten years old, it will soon become what it set out to disrupt. Still play policy catchup and regulation as an after thought should work.

It's a classic incarnation of a Yes Minister hospital with no patients.
Its latest claim to a major advance in Digital Health is to send you a notification when your booster is due. You know, like you can do on your smartphone or in a diary, or a note on your fridge door.

Looks like brochure-ware and a talkfest. They obviously spent a fair bit on the website.
Fits in completely with Scotty's strategy of spin and marketing. It's full of promises and intent but no evidence that their $55m from the Commonwealth Department of Industry, Science and Technology will actually deliver anything of value - apart from employ academics and managers.
There's lots of press from September 2021 about it but no sign of any specific project or initiative.
Sums up the last 5 years pretty well then.
From the Sydney Morning Herald: 15/Feb
"The Prime Minister’s office might like to say it’s a case of nothing to see here, but we can’t help but notice there have been some changes in the staffing team. Sam Develin has moved from Health Minister Greg Hunt’s office into the Prime Minister’s team where he has taken the role of health adviser. The adviser worked for pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline, the powerful Pharmacy Guild and Medicines Australia before joining the government. Meanwhile, the PM’s former health adviser Alex Caroly has been promoted to health policy director, with a particular focus on COVID-19. Is this what you call getting the troops on war footing ahead of an election? Looks like it."
Looks like our fearless ukulele playing leader thinks that health is too important to be left to the Minister and Department of Health.
When I say "important" I mean he thinks it's a political problem in need of some spin. Hence the "advisers"
