MEDITECH Australia, now expanded under the name MEDITECH Asia Pacific, is celebrating its 20th anniversary of supporting healthcare throughout the region. From its humble beginnings in October 2004 to becoming a key player in the digital health ecosystem, MEDITECH Australia’s journey has been marked by innovation, commitment to quality care, and an unwavering focus on transforming healthcare for the better.
Starting out as a small operation with a bold vision, MEDITECH Australia set out to revolutionise the healthcare landscape by providing advanced, integrated software solutions that empower healthcare providers. “Over the years, our company has experienced remarkable growth in both reach and impact, driven by our talented team and the long-standing leadership of our executives,” said MEDITECH International CEO Charlotte Jackson. “Their expertise and guidance have been instrumental in navigating the complexities of the ever-evolving healthcare landscape.”
Australia has a rich history, deeply intertwined with the stories of its First Nations people, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Their profound understanding of health and well-being, rooted in hundreds of years of knowledge, resonates today in modern Australia's focus on inclusive, patient-centered care. "At MEDITECH Australia, we are committed to advancing cutting-edge technology while honoring and acknowledging the significance of our heritage, as it is integral to our dedication to holistic and equitable healthcare solutions," said Julie Barry, MEDITECH Asia Pacific Sales and Commercial Executive.
MEDITECH Australia celebrates this milestone in affiliation with US-based company MEDITECH. MEDITECH supports healthcare markets around the globe by delivering, implementing, and servicing cutting-edge technology that keeps healthcare organisations at the forefront of innovation, starting with MEDITECH’s intelligent Expanse platform. Today, the company has over 2,200 customers in 27 countries.
MEDITECH strives to help organisations navigate the changing healthcare landscape through the use of technology and collaborative innovation. One example is by making its MEDITECH as a Service (MaaS) model available to the Asia Pacific market, enabling healthcare organisations across the region to be hosted in a local Google Cloud platform. This subscription model offers organisations of all sizes access to the latest digital health tools, empowering them to provide high-quality care without the burden of high upfront costs. MaaS is designed to be flexible, scalable, and responsive to the unique needs of healthcare providers, ensuring that they can stay ahead of the rapid advancements in technology.
MEDITECH continues to build an open ecosystem for innovation, enabling healthcare teams to harness the power of data analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to enhance clinical decision-making and reduce the cognitive burden on clinicians. This aligns with MEDITECH Australia’s long-standing goal to ensure that healthcare professionals have access to tools that make care delivery smarter, safer, and more efficient.
As healthcare continues to evolve, MEDITECH Australia remains committed to transforming the industry. The company understands that technology must work hand-in-hand with the expertise and compassion of healthcare workers to truly make a difference. “We are dedicated to delivering solutions that enhance patient outcomes, streamline operations, and support the well-being of clinicians, particularly in today’s challenging healthcare environment,” said Douglas Murray, MEDITECH Asia Pacific's Managing Director.
As MEDITECH Australia celebrates its 20th anniversary, it does so with pride in its accomplishments and optimism for the future. The company’s legacy is one of steady leadership, open collaboration, and unwavering dedication to improving healthcare for all. These attributes are what make MEDITECH Australia well-poised to drive the next wave of innovation in healthcare, both in Australia and the encompassing Asia Pacific region.
