Join the team driving Australia’s largest digital transformation program.

NSW Health has established a Single Digital Patient Record (SDPR) which will provide a secure, holistic and integrated view of the care a patient receives across the NSW Health system. 

The SDPR program will transform how people experience and deliver care across the state, providing benefits for the people of NSW and the NSW Health workforce regardless of their location and role.

This once-in-a-generation program will unify clinical, patient administration, LIMS, and other critical functions onto a single platform — the largest implementation of its kind in Australia — helping to deliver connected, transparent, and safe care for every person at any public healthcare setting statewide.

All NSW Health care teams and clinicians, no matter where they work, will securely access the same information about a patient in real time from one source.
