Information Partner Newsletter Spring 2022

Healthdirect Australia helps people navigate the Australian healthcare system and directs them to appropriate healthcare for their situation — so that they can get the right service when they need it. Our services now include helping people to access COVID-19 antiviral medications.

In this edition, we share information on our COVID-19 antiviral support service (state-based) and catch up with Nirvana Luckraj our Chief Medical Officer.

Our Partner in Focus interview is with Robert Heferen, CEO, Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. We have included an innovation story from SANE, and story collaborations from the Australian Radiation and Nuclear Protection Agency (ARPANSA) and Cancer Council VIC, as well as Canteen, Camp Quality and Redkite.

Please feel free to forward our Newsletter to your colleagues using the ‘forward’ button at the end of the newsletter.
