Australia has one of the best health systems in the world, but it doesn’t mean our system is fail-proof. In our over 35 years of existence, Health Issues Centre has witnessed times when our health system has failed the people it is meant to serve.

Stress testing is a form of deliberate or intense validation that can be used to determine the stability and effectiveness of our health system.

This form of testing is used to identify:

  • Policy gaps

  • Unintended consequences of otherwise good policy

  • Market failure

At Health Issues Centre, we provide stress testing to help decision-makers quickly understand when service delivery and policy decisions have had a detrimental effect on the health outcomes of everyday people. This allows for early intervention to manage issues before they become crises.
