Navigating This Portal
On the left hand side you will see the portal menu. The menu will take you to the following sections:
Handbook provides information about the CHIA examination.
Study Guide provides a list of reading resources that address each tested competency and a sample study plan to provide an idea on how to organise your study time over the 90-day period. Please note – the Study Guide is regularly updated, be sure to cross check that you have the latest edition from this portal.
Demonstration Examination to get you familiar with the layout of the software.
Examination to take when you are ready (within your allocated 90 days as advised in your welcome email).
Please make sure to download the Handbook and the Study Guide since it won’t be accessible once your examination expires.
Optional Resources
As an alternative to the provided Study Guide, you can choose to purchase A Practitioner’s Guide to Health Informatics in Australia, authored by David Rowlands, is a comprehensive body of knowledge (600+ pages) providing an understanding of the 53 competencies in the Australian Health Informatics Competency Framework (AHICF) tested in the CHIA examination. The Practitioner’s Guide to Health Informatics in Australia is independently authored and acts as a companion guide to the CHIA program but is not a reflection of the CHIA examination.
