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.
