Healthcare is a people business

The workforce is both its greatest asset and biggest lever for improvement.

We believe building workforce capability is one of the most powerful ways to improve care.

HOW WE GOT HERE

Our Story

1987

From humble beginnings...

Founded in 1987 by nurse Cynthea Wellings, Ausmed (originally AECD Publishing) started as a small publishing house. Our first title, Urinary Incontinence, became a bestseller, and soon a growing library of nursing textbooks followed, many of which are still in circulation today.

1990s

Ausmed, live and in person!

Throughout the 1990s, Ausmed championed Australian nursing education both locally and globally. We expanded into running conferences and seminars for nurses, midwives and other health professionals with early events drawing hundreds of attendees. By 2019, we were hosting over 250 education events annually across Australia before ceasing this venture due to the coronavirus pandemic.

2000s

From print, to digital platform

By the 2000s, we embraced digital transformation becoming one of the first in our industry to invest in software and online education. That spirit of innovation continues today with a dedicated team of engineers building world-class software

2010s

Innovation era

In the 2010s, recognising the shifting landscape of education and technology, we strategically evolved to invest more in online learning platforms, engaging content creation, and innovative software development. This pivotal shift allowed us to extend our reach, providing accessible and cutting-edge educational resources to healthcare professionals worldwide.

2020s

Building workforce capability

In the early 2020s, we broadened our market reach by partnering with aged and disability care providers to develop the Workforce Capability System, a transformative initiative focusing on development and capability building, not just effective education. This system enabled significant advancements in workforce readiness and skill enhancement.

Today

Embracing generative AI

Now, building on this success, we are embracing the future with our AI-powered Generative Learning Experiences. These innovative experiences are designed to offer personalised and adaptive learning paths, benefiting both learners and providers by fostering continuous growth and expertise in an ever-evolving landscape.

It's time to go beyond 'course complete' and into real comprehension.

What makes Ausmed different?

Most platforms offer either content or software. Ausmed brings both together.

World-class education paired with tools to track, manage, and showcase professional growth. It's a complete ecosystem designed for healthcare professionals and workers, as well as the organisations that support them.

Workforce Capability System

Built in partnership with providers.

We pride ourselves in working alongside organisational leaders and management teams to ensure every feature meets real operational needs.

We found Ausmed to be a partner that really understands the complex environment that we work in, in aged care.

Rebecca Pacey

Chief of People and Transformation

The partnership with Ausmed has been incredible, and that has been purely organic and beautiful and has only deepened over time.

It's has been incredible in comparison to what we did have in place.

Leonnie Wickenden

L&D and Compliance Coordinator

It's just been so easy for the workforce to be able to understand what they need to do, when they need to do it.

Ausmed's really helping us ensure that we really support them within that first six months of employment, and then don't let them down moving into the 12-month mark.

Nick Hansen

Chief Operating Officer | Community Living

Staff are being heard and we're investing in their development. That flows onto resident care and safe, quality care.

In the last two external surveys, staff development feedback was 94–95% positive, and we've won industry awards for staff support.

Fiona Wallace

Organisational Development Manager

As we were walking around Maroba, people were saying 'Oh my gosh, my feedback just popped up!

Ausmed is a system they're comfortable with - they know how to use it - but now they're getting this beautiful piece that's not just learning, but also valuing.
