The Australian e-Health Research Centre (AEHRC) has received renewed funding for another five years, with joint venture partners the CSIRO and the Queensland government chipping in $25 million to keep the national research body operating.
The AEHRC, which is headquartered at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital but has offices in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne, was first established in 2003 to develop ICT innovations in healthcare. It also has a partnership with WA Health with an emphasis on telemedicine and ocular imaging technologies.
