National ICT Australia (NICTA) has launched a data analytics lab this week in collaboration with RMIT University.

Professor Mark Sanderson, Deputy Head Researcher of the Computer Science and Information Technology of RMIT University told FutureGov that the lab will improve how information is transmitted and analysed in transport and healthcare systems. “It might be that you have sensors that are telling you on how your roads are being used, or the number of passengers that you have on a train, or just the way that people are accessing your website. All of these different blocks of information about people and the way that people are using services gives you opportunities to optimise those services.”

The prospect of online and electronic voting at Australian federal elections has officially had its plug pulled for the foreseeable future.

The Parliamentary Committee tasked with investigating the feasibility of digitising Australian ballots has unanimously found that a high-tech solution is still too risky, complicated and expensive to make it a reality in the near term.

In launching Telstra’s vast ambition to become a major commercial player in the delivery of health services in Australia, David Thodey sounded more like a health minister than the chief executive of a telecommunication company.

When Thodey made his speech last month, it so comprehensively covered the ideals of the Australian eHealth agenda that it could easily have been mistaken for a speech Peter Dutton should have been making.

The Federal Government has released its policy on the use of cloud computing services. It requires Government departments and agencies to consider cloud first where it is appropriate for their ICT requirements, but it has drawn warnings from industry that it could end up being nothing more than 'pie in the sky'.

The Government says it is "committed to the use of cloud to improve the efficiency of its services while maintaining data security and provide services that are more responsive to business and community needs."

The new St Stephen’s Hospital in Hervey Bay, which opened last week, is the nation’s first entirely digital medical facility.

Partly funded by a $47 million federal government grant, the hospital has completely digitised record and patient management in addition to a digital drug dispensing facility and a capacity to monitor patients during surgeries.

UnitingCare Health executive director Richard Royle told the ABC that embracing digital was the way of the future.
