About Australian
Healthcare Week

ONE TICKET, TWO EXPOS
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. Now, co-located with the new Healthcare 2040 Expo, the event is expanding its focus to spotlight the technologies, innovations and future models of care shaping the next decade of Australian healthcare.

Whether you're a Chief Executive, a frontline nurse, a procurement manager, or a digital health strategist, AHW is where the pulse of the nation’s healthcare beats the loudest. 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.
