La Trobe University and Gateway Health are teaming up for an exciting Triage Innovation Sprint, and we’re looking for clever, creative students to help shape the future of community healthcare.
This is your chance to collaborate with a real community health organisation, tackle real challenges and pitch real solutions.
About the Sprint
Gateway Health is a not‑for‑profit community health service supporting individuals, families and communities across Northeast Victoria and Southern NSW. They provide holistic, integrated care across sectors like justice, education and housing, with the aim of creating healthier and more equitable communities.
Recent La Trobe student research uncovered some challenges in Gateway Health’s client intake processes. Now, Gateway Health wants your fresh perspective to help streamline these services.
Over two days, participants will collaborate to develop innovative digital and service solutions that make it easier for clients to find and access Gateway Health’s programs – improving the overall experience for clients and staff.
