The South West Alliance Of Rural Health (SWARH) is an Alliance of public health agencies in the South West of Victoria covering an area of approximately 60,000 sq. kilometres connecting all public acute hospitals and associated health services in a region extending from west of Melbourne to the South Australian Border.

SWARH has built a network connecting 16 member and 27 customer organisations encompassing approximately 180 individual sites across South West Victoria. This connectivity is achieved using a combination of fibre, copper and microwave networking technologies.

SWARH’s model is a private cloud based service where services are primarily delivered from central data centres. In addition to this, the virtualisation of services (servers, storage and workstations) within its core data centres is a primary focus. The centralized cloud model has increased the dependency on the underlying WAN infrastructure which delivers services from the data centres to the 16 member and 27 customer organisations.

The SWARH DCs deliver more than 300 applications of which more than 20 are critical clinical applications.

Authorisation and authentication are a significant component of overall security and effective accessibility to services for around 10,000 staff. The use of the user/password combination in concert with password strength and aging across many applications is seen as an increasing impediment to accessibility for clinical staff (around 5,500). The use of biometrics and/or smartcards (or smart devices) is seen as a more effective direction.
