New models of care reshaping the future of hospitals

4 minute read


Early bird tickets are ending soon for HSD’s next summit – New Models of Care – in Sydney on 16 October.


The New Models of Care Summit is a one-day conference which will take a deep dive into the key emerging care models and new policy helping to facilitate the extension and integration of hospital care delivery beyond bricks and mortar institutions and into homes, workplaces, aged care, community health facilities, primary care settings and more.

Bringing together key thought leaders from state and federal governments and agencies, hospitals, the aged and primary sectors, and the virtual care technology vendor community, the event will look at practical and achievable initiatives and technology which can help hospital management migrate more efficiently to virtual care solutions in the near term, including the presentation of current successful case studies from across the country.

This transition is the key to creating a more sustainable and equitable public and private health system into the future and to the economics of the state hospital system.

Come and be part of this fascinating and vital discussion at the UTS Aerial Centre in Sydney, on 16 October 2025.
