OFFICIAL VISTOR GUIDE RELEASED The Time to Transform Healthcare is Now
The Healthcare 2040 Expo is a bold new platform designed to explore what’s next and what’s possible in Health.
Co-located with Australian Healthcare Week, this immersive new event brings together the brightest minds and most transformative solutions shaping the healthcare landscape of tomorrow.
Whether you’re building the hospital of the future, designing smarter health systems, or innovating in digital health, this is your front-row seat to the next frontier.
The Digital Impact stage shows how technology is driving real improvements in healthcare today — from virtual care and connected devices to AI decision support and cyber-resilient systems. On the Digital Futures stage, innovators explore the next frontier, from generative AI and precision medicine to immersive care models and next-gen interoperability, mapping out what healthcare could look like in 2040 and beyond.
Start-Up Program
The Start-Up & Investor Program connects healthtech innovators with investors through founder talks, category Pitchfests and one-on-one meetings. Over two days, startups showcase solutions across women’s health, patient and clinician experience and new models of care, culminating in the Pitchfest Grand Finale on the HC2040 Futures Stage.
Community Seminars
Join respected healthcare associations, researchers and professional bodies to share evidence-based insights, practical strategies and lived experience across the sector. Delivered by our official Community Partners, these sessions highlight the voices shaping policy, practice and care delivery on the ground.
Engage in a series of short, focused seminars and workshops led by leading associations, academic experts and sector bodies.
Executive Program
Designed by executives, for executives - to shape the future of health. We’ve created a dedicated matchmaking program to help senior leaders maximise their time onsite by connecting with the right peers and solution partners. Passes are reserved exclusively for senior decision-makers in healthcare.
“The future is already here - it's just not evenly distributed.” William Gibson
"Innovation in healthcare is proving this already. Ambient clinical scribes are transforming documentation. AI radiology reads are routine. Yet seemingly obvious applications like early chronic disease detection, behavioural nudges combining medical data with evidence-based advice, and streamlined referral pathways remain stuck in pilots.
Transformation doesn't follow our roadmaps. It arrives at the point of revulsion, where friction becomes unbearable. Clinicians adopted ambient scribes because documentation was intolerable. Radiologists embraced AI because AI picks up subtle patterns human eyes miss. Innovation sticks where pain is sharpest and capability is clearest, not where opportunity seems most obvious.
Join me at Healthcare 2040 Expo to discuss how we match the sharpest pain with the clearest capability to improve the lives of all Australians."
The global AI healthcare market is projected to reach US$868 billion by 2030, yielding US$646 billion in cost savings and US$222 billion in revenue gains.
Australian organisations that delay AI adoption now face existential risk, as 85% of healthcare leaders are already exploring or implementing generative AI capabilities, with 64% of early implementers reporting positive returns on investment.
However, with 68% of Australian companies having integrated AI technologies and a healthcare system already focused on prevention and population health, the nation has the foundation to become a global exemplar of intelligent healthcare delivery.

“There's something about Australian Healthcare Week - a lot of the time you'll see Chief Executives turn up to conferences and they want to get in and get out - but not this conference...With so many exhibitors that are relevant to a Chief Executive, we tend to hang around and have time to talk”
Sandip Kumar, Executive Director, Strategy, Transformation & Major Capital, Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service
"One word comes to mind when I think of Australian Healthcare Week...Community."
