Engagement of a WACHS Project Manager by Department of Health (Royal Street)

About

Department of Health (Royal Street) awarded a contract to Cathara Consulting (Cathara Consulting Pty Ltd) for the provision of a WACHS Project Manager to support CHIIP Phase 2, Stage 3.

The contract supported CHIIP's multi-year program to uplift end-of-life network infrastructure and address network infrastructure security vulnerabilities across more than 460 WA Health sites; improve network reliability, further enhance patient care and safety, and enable digital initiatives within WA Health including the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Program; and address the Office of the Auditor General’s General Computer Control audit findings related to network security for all of WA Health.

At the time of award CHIIP was four years into Phase 2 and had commenced the total uplift and service transition to a more contemporary network infrastructure with managed services support; the uplift and service transition works were expected to continue for the next three years.

The contracted role was client- and vendor-facing and required the ability to lead meetings effectively and address issues proactively as they arose.
