The challenge

Across Australian healthcare organisations, whether 2,500 or 36,000 staff, the same problem shows up: frontline and clinical workers are the hardest to reach, and the easiest to lose. Spread across shifts, without email access, or facing a language barrier, they're expected to absorb critical safety information through posters, flyers, and leader cascades that aren't fast, consistent, or reliable, ultimately putting patients at risk.

Ramsay Logo

Ramsay Health Care

Before: 70% of Ramsay's 36,000 staff had no company email or SharePoint intranet access.

With Staffbase: Ramsay grew from a two-person internal communications team to a network of 150 communication champions across the business.

ACHA logo

Adelaide Community Healthcare Alliance (ACHA)

Before: 80% of ACHA's single email sends used to bounce back before it moved its communications onto Staffbase (2,000 of 2,500 staff).

With Staffbase: ACHA can now trigger accreditation surveys with as little as 48 hours' notice, using the platform as searchable evidence during reviews.

healthscope logo

Healthscope

Before: Healthscope's frontline staff couldn't access intranet content locked to the local network.

With Staffbase: Healthscope Hub (employee mobile app) reached 75% of the workforce, driving record NPS and patient-satisfaction score, proving that engaged teams deliver better patient care.

The past 12 months have been challenging for Healthscope. Throughout that uncertainty, our people have continued to care for our patients. Our role in communications is to keep people informed, connected and heard, while creating space to celebrate the incredible work happening across our hospitals.

Why Staffbase

Built for every shift, proven in the numbers

The same platform that closes the frontline communication gap is what healthcare communicators use to build their whole digital workplace.

icon-calendar-long frame

Built for the shift, not the desk

From corporate to the ward — reach every shift across employee app, intranet and email. Mobile-first, role-relevant, multilingual, and timed to shifts, not 9-to-5 business hours.

icon-people-long frame

Connected to the work they actually do

One app that follows the whole shift, not just the news feed — so communication supports the job in front of them, not just the announcement.

icon-handshake-long frame

ROI healthcare leaders can point to

A two-person Ramsay comms team became a network of 150 champions. ACHA turned an 80% email bounce rate into 48-hour, audit-ready compliance. Healthscope reached 75% of its workforce and posted record NPS and patient-satisfaction scores.

AI built for the employee experience

Across app, intranet, email and even voice. Personalized news, an AI assistant for on-the-job questions, and searchable knowledge that gets the right information to the right person, wherever their shift takes them.

Crisis Communications

Reach every employee when every second matters

In healthcare, critical communication is more than sending a message. It's knowing your people received the information they need to act. Whether it's an IT outage, severe weather event, operational disruption or urgent patient-safety update, Staffbase helps healthcare organisations reach frontline and corporate teams quickly and reliably.

Deliver critical communications across the employee app, push notifications, SMS, email and digital signage, so nurses, clinicians, support staff and leaders stay informed wherever they are and whatever device they use. With one trusted platform for multi-channel communication, healthcare teams can cut through the noise, respond with confidence and keep people and patients at the centre when it matters most.

What Australian healthcare communications leaders have to say

It's not about a communication tool, it's about making it easier for staff to work here at Ramsay.

Katie Neill

Internal Comms Manager, Ramsay Health Care

Staff communication equals retention: people who understand what their organisation is trying to achieve, and feel part of its values, are far more likely to stay, rather than feel disenfranchised and walk away.

Communications Manager, ACHA

We used the Healthscope Hub to celebrate internal stories of success — a little sparkle for your day — that slowly started lifting care standards too. Our NPS and patient satisfaction scores were the highest they'd ever been.
