HISA Qld
The Qld Branch of HISA has regular forums on current topical issues. These forums have provided us with an active membership that ensures the Qld Executive Committee (that meet monthly/bimonthly) stays on track and in focus.

We aim to foster and maintain a strong health informatics community in Queensland by providing opportunities for discussion, debate, learning and networking for people with an interest in informatics in health care. As a Branch we will maintain links with HISA nationally and represent and advocate in national health informatics forums on behalf of our membership.
