NSW Agency for Clinical Innovation

The NSW Agency for Clinical Innovation (ACI) brings together clinicians, consumers and system leaders to improve the health system in NSW.

They work together to design and implement new ways to deliver care for patients and achieve better value in healthcare.

Vision and mission

Clinical innovation for better, fairer, sustainable healthcare.

How the NSW Agency for Clinical Innovation can help

The ACI partners with the Ministry of Health, pillar organisations, local health districts, specialty networks, clinicians, patients and carers to change the way that care is delivered. We work together to achieve better value in healthcare by:

  • improving patient and provider experience
  • improving patient outcomes
  • delivering efficient and sustainable healthcare services

Clinicians can get involved by joining an ACI clinical network in their field of expertise or interest. We also provide support for innovation and run several statewide programs.
