Globally recognised thought leaders

Semantic Consulting is an Australian digital health company, founded by Tim Blake in 2012.  We have a small core team of globally recognised thought leaders in healthcare and draw on additional expert resources as required.


We are known for our frank and fearless advice, and are deeply trusted by our clients because of our track record of speaking the truth, even when it can be hard to hear.

Our motivation for working in healthcare comes from our lived experience as patients and carers and sits behind everything that we do.

We believe that the health system is not capable of reinventing itself from the inside, and that it is patients, open models of data sharing and the disruption brought by new digital technologies that will force a radical reconception of our current outdated models of care.
