Welcome to HL7 Australia

Welcome to HL7 Australia. We are a membership-based not-for-profit public company limited by guarantee that exists to facilitate adoption of digital health in Australia by promoting effective use of standards and products developed by HL7 International and supporting their enhancement to meet local needs.

Welcome to HL7 Australia

Health Level Seven® International (HL7®) is the global authority on standards for interoperability of health technology with members in over 40 countries.

About HL7 Australia

Australia has been an early driver for the internationalisation of HL7.

HL7 Australia began in Australia in 1998 under the auspices of Standards Australia IT-14 Health Informatics Committee.

In May 2002, it was first incorporated independently as the HL7 Australasia User Group.

In March 2010 the name changed to HL7 Australia; and in December 2019 HL7 Australia restructured, becoming a limited company.

HL7 Australia Ltd remains the local affiliate of HL7 International. Our members are representative of those using and benefiting from HL7 Standards in Australia. 

HL7 Australia Ltd continues to make an important and significant contribution to the work of HL7 International and global health informatics standards development more generally.

Mission


We create and promote the adoption of cutting-edge, consensus-based interoperability standards that enable a digitally enabled, person-centred, inclusive, and data-driven health ecosystem.

Vision


By 2029, we aspire:

  • To be recognised as a critical partner in the digital transformation of the Australian health ecosystem.
  • For HL7 and HL7 Australia standards to underpin the provision of secure, fit-for-purpose, and connected digital solutions nationwide.
  • For the Australian healthcare sector to recognise us as the leading health informatics standards development and implementation organisation in Australia.
