Financial Review Healthcare Summit
Monday 7 April @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
The future of health
Hilton Sydney | Monday April 7, 2025
Australia’s world-class healthcare system faces unprecedented challenges as an ageing population and rising chronic illness strain resources. Yet, amidst these hurdles, groundbreaking advancements in clinical care and technology are revolutionizing patient treatment. From innovative weight-loss drugs to the shift towards telehealth and home care, and progress in nuclear medicine and gene therapy, new solutions are emerging. While Australia has historically excelled in the medical field with giants like CSL, Cochlear, and ResMed, a fresh wave of biotechs, device manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies are now making their mark on the global stage.
As GP shortages and hospital waiting lists reach critical levels, the focus is shifting towards preventative health and fundamental system reforms. Private hospitals are grappling with financial pressures as disputes with health insurers escalate. The Financial Review Healthcare Summit will dissect these dramatic changes affecting Australia’s vital healthcare industry. It will explore the trends and challenges reshaping how Australians combat disease and strive for longer, healthier lives, examining whether the nation can maintain its world-class healthcare status in the face of these evolving demands.
