Healthcare demand is rapidly growing both in Australia and globally. In Australia, the healthcare system is a blend of public and private organizations, including hospitals, clinics, and aged care facilities. The system is relatively affordable and accessible, with around 68% of the expenditure funded by the government. In 2015-16, healthcare expenditure amounted to AUD 170.4 billion, representing 10% of
the country's GDP. However, rising healthcare costs and increasing demand for services are straining the sustainability of the government-funded healthcare system. To maintain sustainability, it is essential to improve the efficiency of healthcare service delivery.
