About Australian
Healthcare Week
This isn’t just another healthcare event — it’s where the entire system comes together.
For 15 years, Australian Healthcare Week has brought together thousands of healthcare professionals from every corner of the health ecosystem - and there’s a reason they keep coming back.

From hospital leaders and aged care providers to primary care teams, allied health and government agencies, it’s a rare opportunity to be in the same room with your peers, your future collaborators – and the visionaries shaping what's next.
