Abstract:
The development of nursing informatics in Australia began around 1984 and has had a tortuous history. Nevertheless, it has helped create awareness of the discipline of informatics and the technology available. Nurses have been important in stimulating interest in health informatics throughout the country. This paper discusses nursing informatics in Australia in terms of historical roots, professional organizations, education, work experience, research, and government programs.
