Health & Ageing

The challenges facing Australian healthcare require a dynamic, sustainable, and patient-centred response.

Demographic change, limited budgets, workforce sustainability, and technological integration are all putting pressure on health and aged care providers. We work with all levels of government, not-for-profit organisations, and the private sector to navigate complexity, recognise opportunity, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

We work with hospitals to help manage demand, support PHNs to build organisational capabilities, partner with researchers and educators to design and evaluate funding programs, and use lived experience-led design to develop and evaluate aged care and mental health services.

Seeking to overcome inequality, enhance sustainability, and prioritise patient-centred experiences, we put people and communities at the heart of what we do.

Our work includes

  • Hospitals and related services

    Growing demand and financial constraints mean hospitals and related services need to be more efficient than ever while also seeking to increase quality and improve patient experience. Guided by a philosophy of patient-centred care, we work with hospitals to manage demand, deliver services and enhance integration with community health and primary care services.

  • Primary care

    As Australian healthcare’s front line, primary care addresses population health challenges, including mental illness and people living with chronic health conditions. We work with governments and primary health networks (PHNs) to plan, design and evaluate programs that complement and support general practice. We also support PHNs to build organisational capabilities and capacity.

  • Research and education

    Research and education are vital for delivering better treatments and interventions for patients, improving service delivery and achieving outcomes at the clinical and population levels. We have worked with researchers, funders and education organisations to design, implement and evaluate research and education funding programs, activities and translation.

  • Aged care services

    Aged care policy is driven by three imperatives: informing, empowering and protecting consumers; helping older people to live and receive care at home; and rendering the aged care workforce, system and providers sustainable. We help governments and providers to respond to those imperatives and develop efficient and consumer-directed operating models.

  • Government

    Australia’s health system is funded and managed by federal, state and territory governments, which can sometimes make working together challenging. We understand the different roles and nuances of each level of government and what drives their priorities to develop optimal policy and programs.

  • Mental health services

    Australia’s mental health system faces reform challenges. We support governments, mental health services and non-government organisations to improve systems through system design and strategy expertise. We can help you to identify and plan service needs, use lived experience-led design, develop business cases and evaluate services.
