The CSDSx20 Hackathon is not your typical hackathon—it’s a targeted, collaborative event designed to solve real-world challenges in clinical skills development. Over four days across four weeks, Queensland Health staff will work together to create novel and inspired solutions that make a tangible impact in advancing clinical skills.
For any questions, please reach out to the CSDS Communications Team.
Key dates
This hackathon kicks off with problem owners—those with specific challenges or ideas related to clinical skills development—submitting their problems. Once we have a pool of real, actionable problems, a selection panel at CSDS will select four problems and we’ll bring together teams of interested participants to collaborate on brainstorming, ideation, and solution development. This process ensures that the event remains highly focused on addressing practical, high-priority needs that affects the clinical skills performance of healthcare professionals within Queensland Health.
If you're a problem owner with a challenge you'd like to see addressed, we invite you to submit your problem for consideration. Once the problems are set, we’ll call on Queensland Health staff to join the teams best suited to solving these issues.
If you're a problem owner with a specific challenge related to clinical skills, we want to hear from you! Submit your problem, and we’ll match it with a team of passionate participants ready to develop innovative solutions.
Problem submission opens on Monday, 16 September and closes Wednesday, 9 October. Selected problems and tentative teams will be announced on Monday, 14 October.
