I am not sure I have seen much of what is described in the Position Description actually happening or how much of this is in the ADHA’s gift?
As for “shaping digital health in Austraila” I am not so sure!
What do others think. Is this $300K well spent or not?

If it popped up last week and closes 23 Nov (2 weeks exposure) it is reasonable to assume the successful candidate has already been 'selected'. Therefore I don't think I should waste my time applying?
The poisoned chalice is perfectly described here:
"The Chief Digital Officer plays a pivotal role designing connected digital health solutions" ....
... and that does not .... "mean Australians have their health in their hands and their health practitioners can make informed decisions."
What a waste of $350,000.
Is there any information publicly available on the MyGP system currently being developed by Services Australia?
Australia’s Primary Health Care 10 Year Plan, referred to on page 16 of the The Albanese Government's 2022 - 2023 Portfolio Budget Papers, is providing funds to:....
.... "allow the Australian Digital Health Agency to build data linkages between the My Health Record and the MyGP system currently being developed by Services Australia".
Not heard any detail for a while, it is manipulative at best, at a policy level it links directly with less than truthful Medicare Rort scandals the department is pushing.
