In Australia, Intensive Care Units (ICUs) have been designated as critical infrastructure in the framework of the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act (SOCI 2018). Practically applicable cyber threat models focusing on protecting the availability of ICU systems do not yet exist and are needed to define and justify targeted investments in defending ICUs as required by SOCI. Two NIIN affiliated partners, the University of Canberra and Flinders University, led by Cisco Research Chairs Professor Frank den Hartog and Professor Trish Williams from the 2 universities respectively, are jointly working to develop a first version of cyber threat models for ICUs.
The NIIN Health Alliance consortium led by RMIT and including Grampians Health, and Cisco, successfully secured a co-investment grant funding, through the Victoria Government Skills Solutions Partnership programme, to develop 5 Digital Skills for Health courses to upskill at least 360 Grampians Health workforce in a pilot that stretched from July 2024 to June 2025. The consortium worked to extend courses from the Cisco Networking Academy and RMIT College of Vocational Education to address skills gap in digital health innovation and settings.
