Welcome to the new GRHANITE™ Website!

The GRHANITE™ system has been under development for over 5 years now representing over 20 man-years of effort to give Australia the tools to ethically undertake audit, research and health surveillance activities. We believe that this toolset has the potential to place Australia at the forefront of such activities internationally.

GRHANITE™ is now being used across 8 major research and health surveillance projects nationally and GRHANITE™ Client installations are in every State and Territory. The GRHANITE™ HIU has the formal processes established to evaluate any new proposed project and standard procedures to guide organisations and health professionals in using GRHANITE™ to achieve their audit, research and health surveillance goals.

This website marks a move to the full national production release of the GRHANITE™ tools to support audit, research and health surveillance in Australia and we look forward to working with you.
