Case Study: Epworth HealthCare achieves 5x faster eLearning delivery and 66% cost reduction with D2L Brightspace

Epworth HealthCare turns to D2L to offer a full spectrum of learning to staff

Epworth HealthCare, Victoria’s largest not-for-profit private healthcare group based in Melbourne (2,050 doctors, 5,220 clinical and support staff, and 3,000 annual students), faced a major learning transformation: move beyond compliance-only training, reduce costly face-to-face delivery, improve digital literacy and learner engagement across 70 wards, and align education with performance in a 24/7 clinical environment.

By integrating D2L with its existing systems (Janison for compliance, plus Vimeo, Wufoo and Yammer) Epworth shifted to a data-driven, learner-led platform that supports onboarding, technical and leadership development and communities of practice. The change cut learning costs by 66%, sped content delivery 5x, reduced compliance modules from 25 to 10 minutes, lowered content development costs by 30%, and made online training only 25% of the cost of face-to-face programs.
