About Global Integration

Forty years of building systems that don't fall over

Global Integration Pty Ltd has been developing and delivering high-performance, scalable integrated systems for SMEs since 1985 — and connecting healthcare applications since 1990.

Our Story

From SME systems to national health infrastructure

We started in 1985 with a simple proposition: custom software should make a business measurably faster, more reliable and cheaper to run. From Pathology and Radiology Information Systems... Four decades later, that proposition hasn't changed — the scale has.

In 1990 we connected our first healthcare applications using HL7, and healthcare integration has been at our core ever since. Today we're the engineers behind the external interfaces of the National Cancer Screening Register, an InterSystems Solution Partner, and subject matter experts across the standards that make Australian digital health work.

Our pragmatism is the thread through it all: the simplest solution to the most complex problems. It's why our systems are still running years after delivery, and why clients who hit a wall with their existing platforms come to us to break through it.
