Helping
to save trees
DEFENCE will implement Data Imaging and Optical Character Recognition
technology in its corporate financial system as part of a $2.63
million effort to improve administration across the department.
CSC Australia Pty Ltd was selected as the preferred tenderer to
provide the new technology solution, which will see an end to the
current paper-based system and is expected to improve the efficiency
of the more-than 600,000 invoices Defence processes annually. The
new technology will be rolled out across Defence during the next
18 months.
Health centre opens
THE Government has opened a $1.9 million veterans’ health research
centre that will focus on the health of military personnel during
and after their service.
The Centre for Military and Veterans’ Health is located at
the University of Queensland’s Mayne Medical School in Brisbane,
with a satellite facility located within the School of Medicine
at the University of Adelaide.
The Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, Danna Vale, said the research
undertaken by the centre would enhance understanding of the health
impacts of service life and contribute to the improvement of both
the physical and mental health of military personnel.
