HISA Queensland

The Qld Branch of HISA has regular forums on current topical issues.

We aim to foster and maintain a strong health informatics community in Queensland by providing opportunities for discussion, debate, learning and networking for people with an interest in informatics in health care. As a Branch we will maintain links with HISA nationally and represent and advocate in national health informatics forums on behalf of our membership.
