Telstra Health has launched an advisory services business to provide strategic advice on how healthcare organisations can use technology to support more integrated models of care.

The move follows a restructure of Telstra Health's business into seven market segments earlier this year, adding a new division dedicated to analytics and artificial intelligence and expanding its virtual care solutions division in the face of the COVID pandemic. With the addition of the advisory service, there are now eight.

Now in its seventh year of operation, Telstra Health has also delivered positive earnings to its parent company in the 2020 financial year. Telstra CEO Andy Penn announced recently that the business had achieved strong growth, with revenues up 12 per cent and delivering positive EBITDA for the first time in May.
