Harrison.ai, an artificial intelligence company, was valued at nearly $400 million during its 2025 fundraising round. The federal government’s National Reconstruction Fund Corporation invested $32 million in the company. This funding is aimed at bolstering Harrison.ai’s efforts to scale its operations internationally while keeping its headquarters in Australia.
Just a year after the federal government invested $32 million in Harrison (dot) ai as part of a funding round intended to help the company grow from Australia, the health-tech startup is restructuring its Australian workforce while expanding into the United States with a new business that employs American doctors to use its AI technology, states a news report by ABC News. Founded by brothers Aengus and Dimitry Tran in 2018, Harrison (dot) ai develops artificial intelligence tools designed to assist doctors in interpreting medical scans, particularly radiology images. The company says its technology is now used by about 3,500 clinicians across more than 1,000 sites and its investors include major Australian healthcare companies such as I-MED and Sonic Healthcare, alongside venture capital firm Blackbird, according to the news report.
Because they preferred more conventional workplace structures, company leadership has indicated that the transformation has also prompted some employees to leave. At least two employees subsequently announced on LinkedIn that their positions had been made redundant.
An internal document seen by the ABC showed affected workers were told in April that the company would undergo a consultation process before final decisions were made. Australia’s bet on artificial intelligence in healthcare is entering a new and complicated phase. As per the report, the restructuring is linked to a broader shift in how Harrison.ai intends to operate. The company is moving towards a model in which employees are expected to manage fleets of increasingly autonomous AI agents, effectively combining traditional roles with responsibility for overseeing AI systems. The National Reconstruction Fund Corporation has acknowledged the job cuts, describing the company’s transition as a move from product development towards commercialisation and international deployment.
