Billions in new builds. Major state reforms. A sector under pressure to deliver smarter, faster and more sustainably. The Health Facilities Design & Development Summit is where the people making it all happen come to connect, share and get ahead.
This year, we’re back with a completely refreshed format built for today’s health infrastructure challenges - rising construction costs, regulatory shifts, political uncertainty and a sharp focus on mental health, precincts and hospital flexibility. Whether you're deep into a major build or planning the next one, this is where you’ll find the ideas, conversations and connections that move projects forward.
We’re gathering the key decision-makers, project leads, designers and government stakeholders shaping Australia’s healthcare future. If you’ve been part of this space before - or want to get back in the room - this is the event to rejoin.

ACCESS TO REAL DECISION-MAKERS
Meet and build relationships with the senior executives driving Australia’s biggest health infrastructure projects. With attendees from government, health services, design and construction, you’ll be in the room with the people who hold the budgets and shape the pipeline.
AN INTIMATE, CURATED EXPERIENCE
In 2025 we're moving to a premium new venue, designed for deeper conversations and better quality engagement. Fewer booths, curated introductions and a highly targeted guest list mean more time with the people who matter.
BUILT FOR STRATEGIC CONNECTIONS
From hosted lunches and private roundtables to interactive working groups, we’re creating opportunities for sponsors to have meaningful interactions throughout the two days. Less hustle, more value.
A FOCUS ON WHAT'S NEXT
With 1,600+ active health projects worth $58B+ underway in Australia, this is the only event that brings together leaders in hospital design, mental health facilities and health precincts - all under one roof, with a sharp focus on what’s shaping the future of care.
