Infoxchange Australia's Community Infocast
Integrating e-referral in the health & community sectors
Earlier this week, Infoxchange Australia and Royal District Nursing Service presented at the Health Informatics Conference 2010 about a joint project that has resulted in the integration of RDNS' Camillus system to Infoxchange's S2S Service Coordination and eReferral system in Victoria.
The project has enabled around 5500 practitioners across almost five hundred agencies in the health and community sector using the S2S system, to securely exchange client data and documents with the RDNS network of approximately one thousand nurses.
RDNS is a not-for-profit organisation grounded in the principles of care and compassion, and is the largest and oldest provider of home nursing and healthcare services in Australia.
Infoxchange’s S2S service improves healthcare delivery from organisations such as RDNS by capturing and using data, and integrating electronic referral in the health and community sectors.
Fifty-seven percent of all electronic referrals from RDNS sites in the Infoxchange catchment are now to users of the S2S system

The Mirabel Foundation was established in 1998 and is the only organisation in Australia specifically supporting children orphaned or abandoned due to parental illicit drug use. These children are now in the care of extended family (kinship care), more often than not elderly grandparents. Mirabel is currently supporting over 900 children throughout Victoria and NSW with an additional 3 new children being referred to Mirabel each week.
Mirabel provides a variety of services to children, young people and their extended family carers depending on individual need and circumstance. These include:
• Assessment of needs
• Referral to specialist services
• Telephone counselling and support
• Crisis support and assistance
• Kinship carer support groups
• Therapeutic children’s groups
• Recreation program
• Educational support
• Individual child/youth support
• Children and family events
• Respite care and family holidays at Mirabel House
• Family camps at Somers
• Youth ambassador meetings and outings
• Advocacy
Mirabel believes not only that every child deserves a childhood but also that working closely with these children is the most proactive way of breaking the destructive cycle of drug use. Mirabel supports children 0-18 years and works at restoring a child’s sense of self-worth, belonging and hope for the future in order for them to reach their full potential as young adults.
