Health Design System
This is a work-in-progress but we’re frequently adding to it.
The Health Design System allows designers and developers to provide a unified experience for users of Australian Government Department of Health products.
About the Health Design System
It uses the Australian Government Design System as its foundation and provides a set of open-source building blocks that can be used to build government products and services more easily.
Guiding principles
The guiding principles behind the Health Design System are:
- Build upon and document how Health uses the Australian Government Design System
- Support the delivery of a unified experience for users of Health products
- Provide a centralised resource of usable components, patterns and templates
- Prevent duplication, fragmentation and reinvention of the digital wheel
- Be platform agnostic
- Eat our own dogfood - build the system and use the system!
The Department of Health website uses this system.
