The SRH sector increasingly engages with digital technologies – from health promotion on social platforms to telehealth to online STI testing. The ‘digital transformation of health’ has accelerated since COVID lockdowns, and so has the development of digital health policies. What does this mean for the Australian sexual health and reproductive health workforce?
When we talk about the Digital and Data Capabilities for Sexual and Reproductive Health, we are referring to three evidence-based models designed to support digital transformation in sexual and reproductive health organisations and workforces.
To learn more about each model, click on the models below.
💡 Read more about how the Models were developed.
The Digital Capabilities Model outlines capabilities and sub-capabilities for SRH organisations - including access and infrastructure, workforce skills and overall governance of digital platforms, technologies and practices.
The Data Capabilities Model outlines capabilities and sub-capabilities for SRH organisations – including access and infrastructure, skills and governance related to health data.
The Consumer Digital and Data Capabilities Model outlines the kinds of access and infrastructure, skills and governance capabilities that service users and health consumers can draw on when managing their sexual and reproductive health.
Building digital and data capability is a process, not a destination, and the process will look different in every organisation.
There is no ‘right’ way to use the Models and the checklist, but here are some of the ways they might be used in organisational contexts:
