Strong interest in digital resilience grant

There has been a strong response to Best Practice Software’s  inaugural Digital Resilience Grant, with 26 applications received from general practice  and primary care organisations across Australia. 

The grant represents a $35,000 investment by Best Practice to support research into digital systems in general practice, including improvements in workflow, operational  efficiency and digital wellbeing. These areas are critical to improving workforce  sustainability, supporting GP retention, and maintaining high-quality patient care. 

The successful grant recipient will be announced on September 11. 

The initiative is delivered in partnership with the Australian General Practice  Research Foundation (AGPRF), the philanthropic arm of the Royal Australian College of  General Practitioners, to ensure a rigorous, transparent, skills based and  research-aligned independent assessment process. Applications span a diverse range  of initiatives including practical, implementation-focused solutions. 

Best Practice’s Chief Executive Officer Craig Hodges said the response reflected the  sector’s commitment to strengthening digital maturity and resilience. 

“Receiving 26 applications shows how committed practices are to building safer,  smarter and more resilient digital systems. This investment supports research that  strengthens workflows, reduces pressure on clinicians, and ultimately helps maintain  high-quality patient care. We’re proud to support that momentum.”
