Delivery of a digital health solution

The COVID-19 Innovation Fund is an Australian Government initiative to procure new and emerging digital health solutions that align with the national COVID-19 vaccine rollout and future proof Australia’s healthcare system. The Innovation Fund targets opportunities to make a difference through addressing barriers that we are seeing today and using digital health solutions to make new ways of working more efficient and effective.

The Innovation Fund supports digital health solutions targeting specific cohorts struggling to access information about the COVID-19 vaccine and to access a vaccination. This includes, but is not limited to, vulnerable populations such as multicultural communities, the homeless and other hard to reach groups.

This stream of the Innovation Fund is designed to improve sustainable healthcare access by approaching providers and/or technology groups and identifying and supporting proposals that enable new and emerging digital health solutions that feed into better ways of working to make Australian healthcare even more efficient and effective for all.

The Agency requests quotes on new and emerging digital health solutions, delivered to the Agency, that address the healthcare needs and challenges seen amongst multicultural communities, the homeless and/or other hard-to-reach groups. The kinds of digital health solutions that may be proposed, developed, delivered to the Agency, and tested for implementation requires clear identification of these groups and their varying needs, and understanding the complex and sometimes intersecting challenges they face, as well as enduring use of infrastructure.
