Richard Royle

Adjunct Professor Richard Royle oversaw a landmark national review in 2013 that led to the establishment of the Australian Digital Health Agency and the My Health Record. He has chaired the CSIRO’s Australian e-Health Research Centre (AEHRC) since 2017 and continues to be closely involved in digital health innovation. He has been the CEO of a number of public and private hospitals over the last forty years, and he spearheaded the development of Australia’s first fully integrated digital hospital in Hervey Bay, Queensland—St Stephens Hospital opened in 2014 and has since won a number of international awards for its comprehensive digital implementation.
