HealthInsite Information Partners

HealthInsite is a gateway to quality health information from information partners' websites. Here you will find information HealthInsite information partnerships, how to apply to become a partner, a list of current information partners and contact details for the HealthInsite Editorial Team.    

Information partnerships

An information partnership is a formal relationship between HealthInsite and approved Australian organisations such as peak health organisations, government agencies and educational institutions with relevant, reliable, web based health information.

Information partnerships are based on a cooperative approach to information with shared objectives and responsibilities. Information partners benefit from partnership with HealthInsite by:

  • attracting, reaching and maintaining a larger audience;
  • association with a reliable health information gateway, dedicated to providing access to quality information for Australian health consumers; and
  • greater access to networking opportunities with other partner organisations.

The role of information partners

Information partners are crucial in providing quality information for access through HealthInsite. HealthInsite does not produce health information - it provides access to information partners' information through a single gateway. Information partners

  • identify information on their sites that is suitable for access through HealthInsite;
  • assist with the development of topic areas for HealthInsite;
  • contribute to the strategic development of HealthInsite; and
  • recommend other potential partner organisations that may have content appropriate to HealthInsite

Information partners can be self-nominated, identified by the HealthInsite team or identified through other information partners or organisations working with the HealthInsite team. An information partner nomination form is available which will be automatically sent to the HealthInsite team, who will contact you with more details about how to apply for information partnership. Potential partners can also apply online after reading the information on the Assessment of Content for HealthInsite
