eHealth NSW has set up a multi-agency unit called the Virtual Care Accelerator that is focused on coordinating the flood of innovations prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in the areas of telehealth and remote monitoring.

NSW has also rolled out its an enhanced video conferencing platform for specialist outpatients care, and has set a target for local health districts of delivering 10 per cent of non-admitted patient activity through virtual care in this financial year.
