Medicare payments system upgrade on the rocks


A long-running upgrade of the legacy payments systems underpinning Medicare has spent the last year on life support, with the latest phase of the critical overhaul stamped a project of concern for 12 consecutive months.

Internal reporting shows that phase three of the Health Delivery Modernisation program, which has been underway since mid-2022, began reporting a ‘red’ status in December 2022 and has not improved.

Only GovERP – the enterprise resource planning system consolidation project abandoned by the Albanese government in November last year – reported a red status for a similar number of months last year, according to the status report.
