WHO WE ARE

The organisation began in 2012 when a telehealth symposium ‘A Call to Arms’ was held in 2012 at the National Institute for Health Innovation (NIHI). The NZ Telehealth Resource Centre (TRC) website was launched in 2014 to provide free telehealth advice, guidance, and support to help health providers and health professionals set-up telehealth or improve their telehealth services.
