Introducing Professor the Honourable Greg Hunt, FORMER Minister for Health and Aged Care

"Every day across Australia, healthcare professionals, innovators, policy leaders and caregivers shape moments that profoundly change lives. Some of these moments happen in emergency departments or operating theatres; others unfold in quiet conversations, new models of care, digital-first workflows, or research breakthroughs that move our system forward.

What unites all of us is a shared ambition: to deliver better outcomes for patients, communities, and our health system as a whole.

Australian Healthcare Week 2026 exists to strengthen that ambition. It is where the people who make healthcare happen come together—not just to discuss challenges, but to learn from one another, build lasting networks, and chart the path forward. With more than 10,000 participants, 500 speakers and over 200 sessions, this year’s event provides an unparalleled opportunity to engage with every corner of Australia’s evolving healthcare ecosystem."

 “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."

FREE WHITEPAPER
Future of Health in AI

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.
