For 15 years, Australian Healthcare Week has brought together thousands of healthcare professionals from every corner of the ecosystem - and 2026 marked our biggest and most impactful edition yet. With record attendance and an expanded audience of senior decision-makers, the event reinforced its position as the meeting place for those shaping the future of healthcare in Australia.
Co-located with the inaugural Healthcare 2040 Expo, 2026 went further than ever before - spotlighting the technologies, innovations and future models of care set to define the next decade. From AI and digital health to workforce transformation and next-generation facilities, the conversations weren't just forward-looking — they were grounded in real-world execution.
Now AHW returns to the International Convention Centre, Sydney on 17 - 18 March 2027. New for 2027: the Investor Zone, a dedicated Future of Diagnostics Zone, the return of the GP & Primary Care Program, and expanded Women's Health content.
From Chief Executives to frontline clinicians, digital leaders to policymakers - it's where connections are made, ideas are challenged, and the future of Australian healthcare is actively being built.
