New initiatives for digital health in the budget include $94.5 million over four years to provide in-house secondary triage and alternative referral services within a new Ambulance Virtual Clinical Coordination Centre, and $57.2 million to develop a clinical interface for the Digital Baby Book, delivered under a intra-departmental Brighter Beginnings package for early childhood development.
