National Broadband Network will be rolled out in Australia and will “connect 90% of all Australian premises with fibre based services” (Source NBN Co)

Total value is A$43Bn (Eur 29Bn)The real power comes from the fact that ALL Australians will have

access to reliable, high speed communications

Some other interesting trends• Analogue TV switch off leaving us with a digital dividend• An aging population• A growing digital divide • A growing gap between health care costs and demand

Australia is a big country with a small population (2.833/km2)89% of people live in urban areas. The rest don’t.

CSIRO Health Services Strategy

Health and the Megatrends – impact of ICT

...the entire eHealth agenda is

underpinned by high quality, high-speed

broadband networks Dr Mukesh Haikerwal, NEHTA,

Committee Hansard , Sydney, 5 August 2009, p. 28.

The NBN is the foundation of a better healthcare system and a necessary infrastructure for building the interconnectivity that will enable a more effective and efficient patient journey.iSOFT, Submission to Senate Select Committee Inquiry into the National Broadband Network, page 5

The application of what we know will have a bigger impact on health and disease than any single drug or technology likely to be introduced in the next decade.Sir Muir Gray, Director, NHS National Knowledge Service, http://www.nks,nhs.uk/ accessed 18th March 2010

Conclusion

• The power of the NBN is providing access to reliable, high-speed communications to ALL Australians

• When everyone has access to high speed reliable communications, delivery models for services become feasible

• Wireless solutions are needed which address the needs for a big country

• CSIRO can help
