The Australian health system is better described as a complex set of inter-related and interactive systems. This complexity means that many organisations or professions have only a narrow engagement or insight into the health system as it relates to their specific work program.
Understanding the broader context can help inform better decision making and more strategic approaches to problems and solutions.
The Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA) is Australia’s national peak body for public and not-for-profit hospitals and healthcare providers.

AHHA acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live and work. We acknowledge the significance of our Australian indigenous heritage; and that our indigenous peoples never ceded their lands or their culture. We reflect on the remarkable understanding that is generously shared by indigenous peoples; particularly framing health and wellbeing in a deeply holistic way that both encompasses people and place.
