About Health Facilities Design & Development
This isn’t just another infrastructure event - it’s where future-ready healthcare facilities are designed.
Billions in new builds. Major state reforms. Rising pressure to deliver smarter, faster and more sustainably. The Health Facilities Design & Development Summit is where the people making it all happen come to connect, share and get ahead.
From digital-first hospitals to climate-resilient care environments, we’re bringing together the decision-makers, project leads, designers, and government stakeholders shaping the next generation of healthcare infrastructure - across Australia and beyond.
Whether you’re delivering a major build or planning the next one, this is where bold ideas meet real-world projects.
