What is information technology?

Information technology careers not only impact almost every area of human endeavour, they give you the opportunity to explore an incredibly broad range of interests.

Healthcare may not be the first thing you think of when you’re considering a career in information technology, but think about this… healthcare in Australia is an annual $180 billion commitment, escalating with the ageing of our population and the complexity of modern care.

The sheer scale of healthcare in Australia has led to substantial investments in information technology within our healthcare systems, both at the state and national levels, to ready the country for these challenges.
