Why custom solutions?
When you need to address complex or evolving workforce needs, a custom learning solution can deliver far greater impact than off-the-shelf training. Co-designed programs allow you to target specific skill gaps, align with your strategic priorities, and deliver learning in formats that work for your people.
Custom solutions also help embed the behaviours and capabilities your organisation needs to thrive, using relevant case studies, aligning with your values, and supporting consistency across teams. The result is learning that’s practical, scalable and immediately applicable.
At La Trobe, we partner with you to build evidence-based programs that support capability development, talent growth and long-term business goals.

Digital Health
Our programs combine academic leadership with health sector partnerships to deliver education that meets the evolving needs of the sector. We have deep expertose in areas such as:
- Digital health fundamentals and innovation
- Health data analysis and information governance
- Virtual care and digital solution design
- Health informatics and clinical transformation
- Digital twins and AI applications in healthcare.
As healthcare undergoes rapid digital transformation, professionals need new capabilities to work at the intersection of technology, data, and patient care. At La Trobe University, we bring together deep expertise in public health, health services management, and digital innovation to support organisations in preparing their teams for this shift.
Our digital health expertise spans both academic and applied domains. For example, our researchers have developed digital models of emergency department triage in collaboration with Northern Health (the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department), and are currently working on digital twin technologies to support personalised care and clinical decision-making.
For learning and development professionals, this means access to:
- Education that reflects emerging practices and technologies in health
- Opportunities to build custom programs aligned to workforce capability frameworks
- A university partner with practical experience supporting health organisations through change
If you’re building digital capability in your team – or planning for the workforce needs of tomorrow, we can work with you to deliver targeted education and skills development.
