Key Findings The Australian healthcare information technology (IT) market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of % between 2013 and 2020, reaching an estimated market value of $ billion by 2020. Australian governments as well as healthcare providers are enthusiastic about investing in technology, but want to ensure that technology investments lead to improvements in care quality and efficiency, rather than becoming a burden for clinicians. The majority of healthcare IT spending is concentrated on mid- to large-sized hospitals, primarily in the public sector, involving replacing legacy solutions with more advanced systems. New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland have traditionally been the highest spenders on health technology, and this trend is expected to continue over the next five years.
