Abstract: Telehealth has been advocated for some time as a "game changer" in health care services delivery, but has failed to gain traction in Australia despite successes elsewhere. This seminar will describe what has and has not worked in the local scene, and make some comparisons with the international situation. Some initiatives that might help make it more widely adopted will be suggested.

Biography: Anthony is a Professor of Health Informatics in the School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics.
