Health First Summit

Health First Summit 2027

Set to redefine the healthcare narrative, the Health First Summit, taking place on 18 February 2027 at Doltone House Jones Bay Wharf in Sydney, brings together leaders who are pioneering change and transforming first-of-its-kind ideas into real-world impact.

Innovation bottlenecks, policy paralysis and systems stuck in slow motion have defined too many healthcare conversations.

Uniting the diversity of the healthcare sector, the Health First Summit showcases the first movers, disruptors, and pioneers who are reshaping the boundaries of possibility and translating unique ideas into measurable impact for patients and the health system.

Break the cycle. Lead the change. Redefine a new benchmark for healthcare.

  • CEOs, MDs, GMs, VPs, executives & board directors
  • Government leaders & policymakers
  • Pharma, medtech, diagnostics and biotech leaders
  • AI and digital health innovators
  • Hospital leaders & executives
  • Clinicians, medical directors, pharmacists
  • Patient advocacy organisations
  • Researchers, academics and STEM professionals
  • Specialised service providers and vendors

The inaugural Program Committee incorporates a group of leaders who bring deep expertise from across the healthcare ecosystem. With a sharp focus on action over rhetoric, the Committee is shaping a program grounded in implementation and real-world outcomes, while fostering meaningful cross-sector collaboration.

A Call for Speakers will be issued on 10 August 2026, with the Program Committee guiding the selection process. All Summit speakers and panellists will be carefully selected based on their impact and influence as pioneers and disruptors of meaningful change.
