Supporting Queensland’s Healthcare Services with Smarter Cloud Management
Uniting Care Queensland is one of the state’s largest not-for-profit healthcare providers. From hospitals to aged care and community programs, their services touch thousands of lives every day. With multiple Azure subscriptions and a growing environment, gaining a clear view and planning for future growth was a key priority.
Understanding Their Cloud Landscape
Uniting Care needed to understand their current Azure environment and manage multiple subscriptions across different divisions. They also wanted to prepare for future growth, including a potential data centre exit.
cubesys stepped in to help. The team started with a landing zone assessment including using Microsoft’s tooling to assess their Azure Cloud Well Architected Framework (WAF - Reliability, Security, Cost Optimisation, Operational Excellence and Performance efficiency). They looked closely at all key areas, including:
- Identity and access management
- Governance and management
- Network connectivity and topology
- Security
- Platform Automation & Devops
- Cost Management
A report, including executive summary, were delivered to give the organisation a clear snapshot of their environment and the associated recommendations.

A True Partnership
Uniting Care’s team was open to recommendations and keen to work closely with cubesys to thoroughly review and assess their environment. Together, they ensured that all advice was practical, tailored, and aligned with the organisation’s priorities.
The partnership has continued, including work on an Azure Virtual Desktop POC (Proof Of Concept) and a Copilot Readiness Assessment & Report, helping the organisation explore new ways to improve services and efficiently reach more people across Queensland. With a clear understanding of their cloud environment and a plan for scaling, Uniting Care is now well-positioned to deliver healthcare efficiently and confidently.
