Our relevant capabilities include:

  • high-level understanding of Australian legal and ethical frameworks for collection use and disclosure of health and medical big data
  • unparalleled experience in navigating governance and ethics processes for state and territory and national health datasets, including linked administrative data and electronic medical records
  • experience in governing and operating secure cloud-based data analysis facilities.
