Standards Academy
A learning hub for professionals wanting to build knowledge and skills in digital health standards.
About the Standards Academy
The Standards Academy provides practical training and resources to help develop workforce capability, and support consistent and effective use of standards across Australia's healthcare system.
Digital capability must be improved across the health workforce to achieve a connected health system for all Australians. Incorporating digital health into education, training, and accreditation prepares staff to meet changing consumer needs.
The Standards Academy looks to address the needs of the sector by making standards training and other resources for all stakeholders accessible and by doing so supports innovation, and connects learners with experts.

FHIR® training
The Agency has partnered with HL7® Australia to develop a suite of training courses to enable the implementation of Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) in the Australian health technology workforce. The courses cater to different levels of knowledge from beginner to Project Manager, or Solution Architect to Developer.
Whether you are a developer building digital health solutions, a clinician interested in interoperability, or part of a health service team, these courses will help you gain the understanding you need to confidently apply FHIR in practice.
SNOMED
The SNOMED learning pathway introduces you to:
- the structure and purpose of SNOMED
- how standardised terminology improves an individual’s safety and quality of care
- practical steps for using SNOMED in clinical systems and workflows
- links between SNOMED, medicines terminology, and other classifications.
These resources are designed to support clinicians, developers, and health organisations to use SNOMED effectively and to ensure Australia’s health system speaks a common language.
