INFRASTRUCTURE EVENT

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.

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.

This October 15-16 (Marvel Stadium, Melbourne), 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.

NEW VENUE EXPERIENCE


We’re taking things to the next level at Marvel Stadium, Melbourne. Expect high-level conversations in a world-class setting, with spaces designed for networking, collaboration and big-picture thinking.

3 CONFERENCE 
STREAMS


We’re introducing two brand-new conference streams in 2025 - Mental Health Facility Development and Precinct Development - bringing focused conversations, fresh expertise and practical strategies to two of the most dynamic areas.

70% BRAND-NEW SPEAKERS


This year, 70% of our speakers are new - bringing fresh perspectives, bold ideas, and the latest insights to the table for conversations that truly move the industry forward.

INCREASED INTERACTIVITY


Ready for some deep conversations? In 2025, we're enhancing engagement through roundtables, interactive discussion groups, speed networking, post-event drinks receptions and real-time digital polling & Q&A.

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.

Board Chair, Alfred Health & Former Victorian Minister for Health

With a career dedicated to building a more equitable Australia, Martin Foley brings unmatched experience at the intersection of health, governance and social reform. As former Minister for Health and now Chair of Alfred Health, Martin continues to shape the future of care delivery - this time from the frontlines of innovation and infrastructure.

In his keynote, A New Model for Health Infrastructure, Governance & Innovation, Martin challenges conventional thinking and shares a bold vision for doing more with less - through smarter design, stronger partnerships, and new funding models.

With a $1 billion investment, the Northside Hospital Project is setting a new benchmark for data-informed, future-ready healthcare infrastructure in Canberra

Led by Clinical Director Kate Evans, the project takes a strategic, analytics-led approach to ensure every element - from service delivery models to infrastructure planning - is grounded in evidence and built for long-term impact.

In this case study, Kate explores how the team is leveraging robust benchmarking, virtual care models, and horizon scanning to shape a hospital that responds to the evolving needs of its community - today and into the future.


A powerful look at what it means to build smarter, more responsive healthcare systems.
